Chicago Public Schools are now allowing illegal immigrant students to miss class if they or their parents fear being targeted by immigration enforcement.
An internal document obtained by education watchdog Defending Education states that students without legal status can be marked as 'excused' if a parent tells the school they are afraid of federal immigration authorities.
'If a parent/guardian reports an absence and attributes it to fear of federal representative-related procedures, schools CAN excuse the absence under “concern for student health and safety,"' the policy states. 'Additional information should not be provided in the memo box to respect student/family confidentiality.'
There is no time limit on this excuse, meaning a parent could indefinitely keep their child out of school for this reason.
Parents can send in a signed note, call the district or sign a form electronically to obtain an excused absence for their child.
If a parent is impacted by a federal immigration raid, they can designate a guardian for their child that can request excused absences.
The Chicago public school system received nearly $1.7 billion in federal dollars in fiscal year 2024, according to its budget document.
The Daily Mail approached Chicago Public Schools for comment on the absence policy.
President Donald Trump has targeted Chicago for additional immigration enforcement, as he has for a number of other Democratic-run cities.
In Operation Midway Blitz, which was a series of raids in and around Chicago in September, 614 immigrants were arrested by federal authorities.

Daughter to her girl friend at school: “I’m worried I’m going to flunk the trigonometry exam tomorrow.”
Friend: “Hey, your father is the positive thinking self help author, isn’t he? Be positive.”
Daughter: “Okay. I’m positive I’m going to fail that test.”

Why do they fear ICE?
Did they break the law or something?
