Thousands of parents in Massachusetts are allegedly keeping their kids home from school out of fear of ICE raids and deportation since President Donald Trump’s inauguration.
The Boston Globe reported on Tuesday that these migrant parents have become fearful after seeing ICE raids throughout the state.
“Amid the Trump administration’s promises of mass deportations, some schools in Massachusetts and nationwide in recent weeks saw an uptick in absences among migrant students,” the article read.
One mother in Lynn, Massachusetts, named Esperanza said she has kept her daughter home at least once during the past month as a result.
