BOSTON – A new order would allow ICE agents to make arrests at schools, including in Massachusetts, adding to the stress that many children are feeling about their families and their friends.
Worcester Public Schools has already put out a reminder to its bus drivers to not drop off children at bus stops if they see ICE agents.
“I think it’s scary because a lot of them are worried about their friends and concerned about that, it’s nerve-wracking, I think, for everybody in the city right now,” said Worcester parent Kathleen Thibeault. “Especially for the public schools, where a lot of the kids maybe do have parents who could potentially be taken, for sure. [My kids] are not as aware of it as other kids may be but a couple of them have said, like, their friends aren’t going to come to school.”
