Protecting Our Public Schools from ICE Raids

Join attorney Caitlin Zusy and Volunteer State Director of Missouri, Tricia McGhee, in a critical discussion about how we, as Americans and allies, can protect our public schools and the children within from immigration enforcement actions.

Caitlin Zusy is an immigration attorney based in Chicago, IL, with over a decade of experience advocating for immigrant families. She will provide an overview of the legal landscape regarding immigrant students in schools, clarifying what is and isn’t legal, and addressing common concerns about immigration enforcement in educational spaces.

Tricia McGhee (she/they/elle) is the Director of Communications for Revolución Educativa, an organization committed to creating the conditions for the advancement of Latino youth. A dedicated advocate and organizer, Tricia works to amplify the voices of parents and community members, recognizing their inherent power in shaping school policies and demanding accountability from decision-makers.

Every school district in the country has the power and responsibility to put policies in place that protect students from immigration enforcement actions within their schools. This discussion will provide the tools and knowledge necessary to assess, advocate for, and strengthen those policies in your own district.
