Communities on Edge as ICE Raids Target Schools, Churches, and Hospitals under New Trump Directive

The Trump administration has authorized ICE to conduct immigration enforcement operations in schools, churches, and hospitals, igniting a wave of fear among immigrant communities. Schools across various states, including Massachusetts and New Jersey, are taking measures to protect students, advising staff on how to respond to potential raids. Many schools and religious leaders are voicing their opposition to the new policy, emphasizing the importance of keeping educational and religious spaces safe from deportation efforts. With the elimination of protections previously in place for sensitive locations, immigrant communities are left grappling with uncertainty and heightened anxiety as they prepare for possible arrests in places that were once considered sanctuaries.
