The Trump administration announced that federal immigration enforcement agents could make arrests at or near 'sensitive' locations, reversing a decade-long precedent.
The policy change affects Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP), allowing enforcement in places like schools and houses of worship.
Concerns have been raised about the impact on New York City public schools, with fears about attendance and the safety of immigrant students.
New York City Mayor Adams has communicated with ICE about sensitive locations but has not publicly criticized President Trump in exchange for a direct line to the president.
The Panel for Educational Policy in New York City is expected to pass a resolution to protect the rights of immigrant students in response to the federal policy shift.
