NC Democrats Push School Immigration Protection

0:00North Carolina Democrats just dropped bills to shield kids in public schools from federal immigration agents. The main push comes from Rep Julia Greenfield, who wants every school district to create clear plans for dealing with ICE, get written parent OK, before sharing student info and alert families if agents show up or ask for details. This ramps up amid President Trump's big deportation plans with crackdowns hitting cities like Charlotte and Raleigh. Back in November, during Operation Charlotte's Web, ICE nabbed over 1,300 people statewide, sparking fears that froze out tens of thousands of students from class. Parents and kids got spooked by agents rolling up in tactical gear, even though fed say schools aren't targets. Greenfield saw at first hand and says, the goal is simple, let innocent children learn without panic while keeping everyone in the loop if things heat up. These ideas build on federal law from the Supreme Court's 1982 Plyler VDo ruling, guaranteeing non-citizens' rights to education.

With Republicans running the General Assembly, passage looks tough, but dims like rap. Marsha Mori hope it spotlights families' rights and keeps. Schools as safe learning zones, no matter what.
