School districts and state lawmakers in California are taking steps to protect immigrant students from potential mass deportations under the incoming Trump administration. The San Diego Unified School District has adopted a resolution barring ICE from accessing its facilities without a warrant. State lawmakers are proposing additional requirements for ICE access, including a warrant, a written statement of purpose, and permission from the school district superintendent or daycare center director. The proposals aim to minimize the trauma that ICE visits can cause to students and ensure that all students, regardless of their immigration status, have access to free public education.

“I introduced Assembly Bill 49 to send a message to all of our immigrant students, immigrant families throughout the state of California, that we have their backs,” said Assemblymember Al Muratsuchi, a Democrat who represents the South Bay area of Los Angeles.“This can be incredibly traumatic, and so we want to keep our students — first and foremost — front of mind,” Muratsuchi said.
