Critics of the Trump administration’s overhaul, including regional office closures and attempted layoffs, say the changes undermine enforcement of laws like the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. Future plans may see key responsibilities moved to other agencies, raising further concerns about continuity and oversight.

Educators nationwide report rising anxiety, reduced attendance, and learning disruptions among immigrant students due to intensified immigration enforcement. According to an EdWeek Research Center survey, 50% of educators working with immigrant families observed student fear this school year, and 75% said it interferes with learning. “Fear or anxiety is interfering with student learning ‘some’ or ‘a lot,’” particularly in large districts. While some districts share immigrant rights information or offer counseling, 42% took no action. Rural areas are less likely to have formal protocols for handling immigration officer requests, with only 30% reporting clear, written guidelines. Meanwhile, an analysis by Chalkbeat found that attendance rates dropped by 1.25 percentage points after news of immigration sweeps became public.
