Sunrise Pledges to Protect its Students From ICE

The Sunrise Middle School Board of Directors voted this week to re-affirm its 2017 policy of protecting all students at Sunrise in the wake of the incoming Administration’s threats of mass deportation.

The Board, as well as the school administrators and teachers, have re-affirmed that the school will not cooperate with immigration officers and will continue to consider the school a “safe haven” where students should be able to learn without threats to their safety.

“Migration to this country is often propelled by social, economic, and political factors and native country conditions, which result partly from U.S. government and corporate policies and interests, and thus immigrants and their families are here entitled to compassionate and humane treatment in this country,” the school board wrote in its resolution.

The school’s policy states:

  • If an immigration enforcement officer arrives at our school site they will not be allowed on campus unless they have a warrant signed by a federal judge.
  • The school will not release any information on its students unless required to do so by a federal judge.

In addition:

  • We will immediately alert our families if we hear of an ICE raid in the area.
  • We will offer to drive a student to or from school if an ICE raid is threatening parents from doing so themselves.
  • We will continue our policy of not collecting information about the legal status of our students and families.
