Hours upon returning to office, President Donald Trump declared that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) would be allowed to detain migrants in "sensitive" locations such as schools, hospitals and places of worship. Months later, a rising number of students are avoiding going to school to not get deported.
That conclusion came from a recent study by Stanford University, which pointed out that immigration raids over the last few months contributed to lower school attendance. More specifically, parents deliberately left their kids out of school following the news of raids earlier this year, particularly in California's Central Valley.
