Did you know there’s a @SCOTUS law that protects every child’s right, regardless of immigration status, to a free public education?

It’s called and affirmed in Plyler v. Doe.

The @tx_ilc shares what you need to know.

Immigrant advocates @CLASP_DC and elsewhere say the Trump administration's latest enforcement efforts — in some ways more punishing than what came before — is again leaving children vulnerable and afraid to attend class https://t.co/nGgyUiJutk

Fear of deportation is keeping kids out of school, & it’s hitting school budgets.

“Regions that previously served thriving refugee communities are serving fewer new families — and they now have to grapple with less funding to sustain their programs.”

[1] New from @The74: the Trump Administration’s anti-immigrant agenda is negatively impacting children’s access to education, food, healthcare, their loved ones, and more.

What happens when policies aimed at undocumented students create barriers for students experiencing homelessness?

@pdclovell explores how anti-Plyler proposals could disrupt enrollment and school stability.

[All4Ed @All4Ed]

For 1.54M students experiencing homelessness, school can be the one constant in their lives.

Anti-Plyler proposals could create documentation barriers that disrupt immediate enrollment & school stability.

Rest in peace to this fragile young American who took his own life, after his mother was detained by ICE.

His death will also mean her likely deportation, as she may have been able to stay if he’d remained alive, given that he so clearly needed her support.

Bad Bunny has given Lula free license to use his song "What happened to Hawaii", now adapted to warn against the US attempt to loot & destroy Brazil's environment, economy & people.

Elections are next Sunday. Brazilians are fighting for national survival against Trump/Israel.

[All4Ed @All4Ed]

A policy aimed at undocumented students can have consequences far beyond immigration status.

@jazzflopena's latest #TheRippleEffect blog explores how documentation mandates could collide with protections for youth in foster care.

Trump admin proposal would strip tax-exempt status from schools giving race/origin-based scholarships—hurting Haitian students most.

Alejandra Vásquez Baur, EdTrust: "This proposal limits those dreams to only those who can afford to attend."

Honored to share that I’ve been selected as a 2026–2027 Obama Leader through @ObamaFoundation’s Leaders USA program.

Excited to learn, grow, and bring these lessons home to East Charlotte. Grateful for everyone who has believed in me along the way. 🤍

This makes him the first Mayor to march in the Mexican Independence Day Parade (yes even before Eric Adams), a nod to the rise in “New Latino” political power that extends beyond the city’s traditional Puerto Rican powerbrokers.

[All4Ed @All4Ed]

This isn’t just about undocumented students.

Foster youth, homeless students, & families in transition could all be affected when access to school depends on documentation.

That’s why this matters.

Fear doesn't stop at the schoolhouse door.

EdTrust's Alejandra Vázquez Baur joined @fox5dc to discuss the tragic case of college student Pierre Dumas Bell and how immigration enforcement can affect students' mental health and ability to learn.

La lectura no se detiene después de primaria. Los nuevos resultados de PISA muestran retos preocupantes para los jóvenes en EE. UU.

Alejandra Vázquez Baur de @EdTrust habló con Univision sobre lo que necesitan los estudiantes para ser lectores fuertes.

[All4Ed @All4Ed]

A child who is afraid cannot learn.

When fear keeps students home, entire classrooms are impacted.

Public education must remain open to all—no exceptions.

85+ California colleges could be impacted by a proposal targeting schools that provide race-conscious support. As EdTrust's Denise Forte says, "Recognizing inequity doesn't make education less fair. Opportunity matters". #HigherEd

On #TheFinal5 at 11:30: @ale_vazquezbaur joins me with the impact of TPS status changes on students across the country; plus @anna_c_kramer from @washingtonsun shares her reporting on a plan that could see parts of Yosemite sold off. Why? Find out on #FOX5DC and Fox Local.

As a bilingual social worker in Tennessee, Ingrid Seymour-Pérez has seen immigrant students flourish & parents contribute to keeping schools running. And she has seen some who came legally suddenly facing deportation now that the rules have changed https://t.co/h5OyMNGnGq

“I think it’s incredibly shortsighted to limit access to education and training to a group that may be your next group of inventors or they may be your next superstar scientists.”
