Betsy DeVos Says Schools Should Call ICE on Undo ented Students


The Secretary of Education is leaning hard into her brand of being uninformed and indifferent.

Whenever she's had the opportunity, she's chosen to make education more hostile, more expensive, and now, more dangerous.

“Inside the school,” Mr Espaillat asked, “if a principal or a teacher finds out that a certain child is undo ented, or his or her family members are undo ented, do you feel that the principal or teacher is responsible to call Immigration and Customs Enforcement and to have that family reported?”

Ms DeVos replied: “Sir, I think that’s a school decision. That’s a local community decision. And again, I refer to the fact that we have laws and we also are compassionate, and I urge this body to do its job and address or clarify where there is confusion around this.”

DeVos is right, we do have laws—laws that forbid exactly what she's directing schools to do. In 1982, the Supreme Court ruled in Plyler v. Doe that schools cannot deny children their right to a free education based on their immigration status. That's because, despite what DeVos seems to think, even undo ented immigrants have protections under the U.S. cons ution.

The ACLU released a statement the same day, with director of immigration policy Lorella Praelli saying:

“Let’s be clear:

Any school that reports a child to ICE would violate the Cons ution.

The Supreme Court has made clear that every child in America has a right to a basic education, regardless of immigration status.

Secretary DeVos is once again wrong.”

By Painting Asylum Seekers as ‘Violent Animals,’ Trump Unlocked a School-to-Deportation Pipeline

The teens caught in this cycle are mostly Central American boys, many of whom fled their native countries to the United States to escape the gang membership they are now accused of.

The evidence used to allege their gang ties would be laughable if it didn’t have such dire consequences.

Stories from immigrant children and their lawyers suggest the administration is crying wolf. An internal Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) review found that less than 2 percent of children in its care have direct gang ties.

Many of the other children it appears have been falsely accused of gang ties for things as trivial as wearing shoelaces of a particular color, holding up a peace sign in a photo posted on their personal social media, or giving a classmate the finger.

Watch: Facility Staff Call Police as Senator Attempts to Examine Conditions of Immigrant Detention Center

"Children should never be ripped from their families and held in secretive detention centers."

a sitting U.S. senator attempted on Sunday to examine the conditions of one immigrant detention center in Texas—where "hundreds" of children are reportedly being held—

facility staff refused to allow him inside and called the police.

"

"The attorney general's team and the Office of Refugee Settlement, they don't want anyone to know what's going on behind these doors,"

Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore) said after arriving at the Brownsville, Texas facility, which is run by the

Southwest Key Program (SKP), a "non-profit" government contractor.

Merkley didn't simply arrive at the facility unannounced.

As the Oregon senator explains at the outset of his video of the attempted visit,

he contacted federal officials and SKP to request access to the detention center, which is a former Walmart with completely blacked-out windows.

After Merkley repeatedly asked officials at the facility to allow him to speak with a supervisor who could give him a tour,

local police arrived and questioned the senator about his attempted entry.

When a supervisor did finally emerge, he wouldn't answer Merkley's questions or provide any information.

Senator Jeff Merkley

At a Border Patrol processing center in McAllen, TX, I witnessed something that is now seared into my mind: A large warehouse facility with cells constructed of fence posts and chain link fencing—like dog kennels or large cages.

But the style of construction isn't the issue.

What is the issue is that in that facility U.S. agents are tasked with taking the children out of their parents' arms and

putting them into cells with other children—

with neither the children nor the parents knowing if they will ever see each other again.

...

Finally, they arrive to the shores of the United States,

knowing that the U.S. has time and again treated families fleeing persecution with respect

because so many Americans have a parent, grandparent, or ancestor that arrived to the U.S. fleeing persecution.

But instead,

the Border Patrol—under a new plan concocted by Jeff Sessions, Donald Trump, and John Kelly—

arrest the asylum seekers as criminals and

proceed to take the screaming children from the arms of their protesting parents.

The Department of Homeland Security reports that in just a 12-day period in May they took 658 children away from their families.¹

Where do they go?

The Border Patrol turns them over to the Department of Health and Human Services' Office of Refugee Resettlement.

Many end up in a massive detention center.

I visited one located in a former Walmart, in another town in Texas.

I wasn't allowed inside to check on the children—

Team Trump requires that members of Congress submit a request two weeks in advance and

doesn’t guarantee that a visit will be approved even then.

This is clearly designed to make it

very difficult for Congress to exercise any oversight.

Nor would the supervisor at the detention center answer any questions,

So I don't know how many children were inside, although I heard from others that the number was many hundreds, and possibly a thousand.

I don't know how long they've been or will stay there, or where they'll go next.

I don't know whether they have enough counselors, or teachers, or health professionals.

I don't know if parents can regularly talk to their children, but

I'm told by others that it is extremely difficult for parents to find out where their children are, let alone talk to them regularly.

But let's be clear.

No matter how good the supplies and staff are—and I have heard that the nonprofit that runs the detention center has a solid reputation—

nothing makes it OK to inflict great harm on children by unnecessarily and forcibly removing them from their parents, as they await an asylum hearing.

Trump administration moves to block victims of gang violence and domestic abuse from claiming asylum

Atty. Gen. Jeff Sessions has ordered immigration judges to stop granting asylum to most victims of domestic abuse and gang violence, a move that could block tens of thousands of people, especially women, from seeking refuge in America.

The decision, which immigration advocates are sure to aggressively fight, comes as Sessions seeks to use the authority of his office to sharply change U.S. immigration law to make it less friendly to asylum seekers.

The attorney general has the power to issue decisions that serve as binding precedents for immigration judges. In this instance, he used a case involving a victim of domestic violence from El Salvador to rule that survivors of such “private” crimes are not eligible for asylum under U.S. law.

He acknowledged the “vile abuse” that the woman reported, but in effect said that U.S. law could not help her.

In a speech earlier in the day to a training session for immigration officials, Sessions telegraphed his position, saying that “asylum was never meant to alleviate all problems — even all serious problems — that people face every day all over the world.”

His anticipated “ruling restores sound principles of asylum and long-standing principles of immigration law,” he said.

House to vote next week on two competing immigration bills after Republican negotiations on a compromise fall short

A spokeswoman for House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) made the announcement late Tuesday after a group of renegade Republican moderates failed to gather enough support to force votes on far-reaching protections for “dreamers” — including on bipartisan bills that could easily pass.

“Members across the Republican Conference have negotiated directly and in good faith with each other for several weeks, and as a result, the House will consider two bills next week,”

the House will consider a conservative bill, tilted toward hard-line positions that offers a limited path to permanent legal status for young undo ented immigrants.

Another bill that has not been finalized would offer that status, and an eventual path to citizenship, but it remains unclear whether it could pass the House.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/power...nl_most&wpmm=1

Probably neither bill would pass, and then it would go to the Senate to start the fight all over again. But the Senate already passed a bi-partisan immigration bill that Ryan refused to bring to a vote, because he was afraid it would pass.

another kind of "family separation"

It's not just people in the U.S. illegally — ICE is nabbing lawful permanent residents too

In 2001, Jose Luis Garcia was convicted of a misdemeanor domestic violence charge.

Whatever tumult it caused within his family, the event seemed to fade with every passing year as Garcia became a grandfather and inched closer toward retirement.

This month, the

nearly 20-year-old conviction came roaring back when immigration agents arrested the 62-year-old as he drank coffee and watered the lawn of his Arleta home.

His daughter, Natalie Garcia, thought there must be a mistake.

Her father has been a lawful permanent resident since 1988. He carries his green card in his wallet.

“We thought this was happening to people like they said — criminals, the gang members,” she said in an interview between sobs.

Legal immigrants in the U.S. have never been completely protected from possible deportation. But in its war against illegal immigration, the

Trump administration has lowered the bar for whom immigration agents can go after, experts say.

President Trump has vowed to crack down on immigrants with criminal records, saying they should be deported to their home countries.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents have carried out a series of sweeps in California this year, detaining hundreds of people. While there has been much emphasis on the arrest of people who don’t have criminal records but are here illegally,

the arrest of legal immigrants who have convictions deep in their pasts has gotten less attention.
