Federal immigration authorities will be permitted to arrest people and carry out enforcement actions in and near places such as churches and schools, marking a departure from long-standing policy to avoid so-called sensitive areas.

We will not admit ICE agents into schools based on an administrative warrant, an ICE detainer, or any other document related to civil immigration enforcement,” Worcetser Superintendent Rachel H. Monarrez wrote in the email.

Bridgeport Public Schools announced on Tuesday guidelines designed to protect students in the event of an attempted raid by ICE agents.

ICE raids expected on sanctuary cities after Trump's inauguration largely failed, but executive orders on border security set the stage for further immigration actions.

After signing several executive orders relating to border security, President Donald Trump’s plan for several raids on Tuesday did not come to fruition but in an abundance of caution, several advocacy groups are making sure immigrants know what options they have.

ICE agents will now be able to make arrests inside what was considered "sensitive" locations like schools, churches or hospitals.

The Trump administration has reversed longstanding policies that limited immigration enforcement in sensitive locations such as schools and churches.
