In the wake of the Trump administration’s new guidelines on immigration enforcement, some school districts are telling their students they will be protected from raids — at the same time as officials try to figure out exactly what the rules will mean for their students. The Department of Homeland Security memos released this week empower immigration enforcement officers to target any of the estimated 11 million people in the U.S. illegally. (ICE traditionally considers schools "sensitive" locations, so until now hasn't sought students at them.) Chicago Public Schools this week announced a similar policy. But LAUSD officials say they aren’t sure what the new directives mean.
