Tell Senators: Keep ICE away from schools!

This June, the Senate will resume negotiations on a reconciliation bill with an amendment that could restore protections for immigrant students by once again designating schools as sensitive locations. If Senators do not act, schools across the country will remain exposed to immigration enforcement.

Schools must be safe, welcoming places where students, educators, and families can learn and thrive without fear of immigration enforcement or law-enforcement actions that undermine educational environments. The Trump Administration has eliminated schools’ designation as sensitive locations free of immigration enforcement - and once the bill is finalized, this opportunity to restore protections will be lost.

Immigration enforcement activity has devastated local communities by unlawfully ripping students from their homes or schools. As attendance levels dip and morale plummets, students, educators, and families are gripped by fear. Our schools should be safe havens, not places of terror.

Contact your Senator today and urge them to VOTE YES on the forthcoming sensitive locations amendment that will protect school grounds from ICE presence.

Subject Make our schools sensitive locations!

Dear Senator,

Message Body

It is our understanding that the Senate will soon consider a reconciliation bill to fund immigration enforcement. During that process, I've heard an amendment will be offered to protect sensitive locations, including schools, churches, and hospitals, from immigration enforcement.

This issue is absolutely critical to parents, teachers, and students. Our schools must remain safe places without fear so students can learn and thrive, and our parents deserve the certainty of knowing that their child will be protected and that they can safely transport their child to and from school. Without these protections, families across the country will continue to experience harm and fear, and students will continue to not receive the educational support they desperately need to be academically successful.

Therefore, I urge you to vote YES on the forthcoming sensitive locations amendment that will protect school grounds from ICE presence. Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

[First Name] [Last Name]
