Letter Urging NYC Schools to Protect Immigrant Students

The New York Civil Liberties Union (NYCLU) and Make the Road New York (MRNY) sent a letter to New York City Public Schools (NYCPS) Chancellor Melissa Aviles-Ramos urging her to take immediate, decisive steps to better protect immigrant students, school facilities, and school records against potential Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) enforcement actions. This action followed President-Elect Trump’s recently announced plans to end restrictions on ICE arrests at sensitive locations, such as schools, places of worship, and hospitals. 

As bold as the spirit of New York, we are the NYCLU.
