A federal judge has ruled against the Denver public schools system’s attempts to block immigration officials from carrying out raids on school grounds, marking a win for the Trump administration as it looks to ramp up its deportation efforts.
U.S. District Judge Daniel Domenico said Denver Public Schools failed to prove that a recent drop in student attendance at schools was due to the Trump administration reversing a 2021 Biden-era policy of protecting schools — and other sensitive areas like churches — from ICE raids. There are currently more than 1.4 million individuals on ICE's final order of removal docket.
Denver Public Schools filed a federal lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem for reversing the policy, claiming the district was "hindered in fulfilling its mission" to students who didn’t turn up to school for fear of immigration enforcement.
Denver Public Schools had sought a preliminary injunction barring the federal government from making arrests at sensitive locations, which was denied. Domenico also denied a request that he grant a nationwide preliminary injunction forcing immigration officials to revert to the 2021 guidance.
Besides a drop in attendance, Denver Public Schools said it had to divert resources to respond to fear among students and families over the lifting of longtime rules.
The school system also argued that rescinding the policy had caused schools to devote time and resources to teaching students and staff how to remain safe from immigration enforcement. Denver Public Schools has trained staff on how to handle ICE officers if they show up at school, telling them to deny agents entry if they don't have a warrant signed by a judge.

Considering the ages of some of the “students” there’s no problem with this.
Resources to teaching students and staff how to remain safe from immigration enforcement.
That isn’t a schools job they must have many illegal teachers and students.
Tax dollars at work
They would otherwise, as adults claiming to be ‘teens’, use schools as ‘sanctuaries’.
Just starting to research migrant teachers. Apparently a booming industry.
Federal government money should not be given to schools for illegal aliens. U.S. workers should not be held responsible for the education of foreigners.
Remind me again why we're paying to "educate" foreign students - who should be educated in their own countries.
ICE says MS-13 gang members hide in the schools knowing ICE could not touch them - so access is needed.
Not at all surprising. How insidious.
Why go to the school? Bypass these lefty twits and go to the student’s home.
AMEN!
schools get money based on attendnce..kinda like the covid “vaccine”
