DENVER -- A federal judge is set to hear arguments Friday over whether he should block immigration agents from conducting arrests at schools under a Trump administration policy that has yet to be acted upon. Denver Public Schools is asking U.S. District Judge Daniel Domenico to block immigration enforcement in schools across the country while its lawsuit challenging the new policy plays out in court.

The suit says the possibility of routine immigration arrests in its schools has led to a drop in attendance. It also says the district has had to divert resources to respond to fear among students and families over the lifting of longtime rules restricting immigration enforcement near schools, churches and other sensitive locations.

“This includes providing mental health support to students, diverting administrator attention from academics to immigration issues, and assisting students who miss school to catch up,” lawyers for the school district said in their request to block the new policy.

Under the previous “sensitive locations” guidance, officers were generally required to get approval for any enforcement operations at those locations, although exceptions were allowed for matters like national security. The policy change announced in January by the acting leader of the Department of Homeland Security, which includes Immigration and Customs Enforcement, emphasized that field agents should use “common sense” and “discretion” to conduct immigration enforcement operations without a supervisor’s approval.

1. The court system is too precarious. We need to do better.

One person, just expressing an opinion? Even when it's a learned and honorable opinion, that's not good enough. We've seen how easily subverted it is by these vicious, evil, bribing bastards.

2. Trump's crew will call for impeachment if it does not go their way.

Count on it ... oh, and the death threats to them and their family members, as is Trump's normal course of action.

5. It's a terror tactic

It is forcing many to go "underground" and I know even here in Philly, the schools are noticing children who have stopped coming to school due to this. The schools have been instructed not to let anyone in unless they have a warrant but regardless, the "word is out" and that was enough to understandably spook many families - especially since many fled countries that do this sort of thing routinely.
