Amid escalating tensions surrounding immigration enforcement, the Trump administration has authorized ICE agents to conduct arrests in churches, schools, and hospitals, sparking widespread concern among local leaders and communities. Institutions such as schools and religious organizations are pushing back against this policy, with Quaker groups filing lawsuits aimed at blocking these arrests within houses of worship. As fears mount, various educational leaders are reassuring families while outlining procedures to handle potential ICE encounters on campus. In states like New Jersey and Massachusetts, school districts are actively seeking ways to protect undocumented students amid warnings of mass deportations. National faith leaders, including a Portland pastor, are also offering sanctuary in response to the renewed crackdown. As rumors of immigration arrests circulate, local communities are bracing for the implications of these policy changes while advocating for the rights of vulnerable families.
