Every child deserves a safe, welcoming, and high-quality public education— no matter their immigration status, race, language, or background.
But today, that right is being threatened. Some schools are being drawn into immigration enforcement, which creates fear and confusion, especially for undocumented students and families with mixed immigration status. These actions hurt students and families, and they also weaken our schools and communities.
Education Justice Alliance created this guide because we believe that when families and communities are informed, they are powerful. This resource is meant to help you understand what’s happening, know your rights, and find ways to take action together.
