Officials at Wyoming Public Schools want to assure parents they’re “maintaining a secure environment” for illegal immigrants amid the largest deportation operation in U.S. history.

In a “family communication” sent to parents in both English and Spanish on Wednesday, WPS Superintendent Craig Hoekstra weighed in on “the immense responsibility of caring for, protecting, and supporting your children to the best of our ability while they are in our care.”

“As educators, it is our duty to make certain that all children, regardless of citizenship, immigration status, race, or national origin, have equal access to a free public education, as guaranteed by the United States Supreme Court in Plyler v. Doe and reinforced by Michigan’s Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act (ELCRA),” Hoekstra wrote. “This commitment to equity and inclusion is not just a legal obligation but a reflection of our core values as a district.”

“Recent concerns … have raised questions about the potential for immigration enforcement in or near schools, and whether such actions might disrupt students’ access to education,” the letter read. “Current guidance from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) identifies schools as ‘protected areas,’ emphasizing that immigration enforcement actions should not occur in or near schools except under extraordinary circumstances.”

The superintendent assured parents the district will shield information from Immigration and Customs Enforcement to preserve “the rich diversity of our student body.”

“Wyoming Public Schools has policies in place to safeguard student information and privacy,” he wrote. “We consult with legal counsel to guarantee compliance with laws such as the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), which protects the confidentiality of student records.

“These measures, along with our vigilance in maintaining a secure environment, help ensure that every student feels safe and supported.”

The letter offered concerned parents contact information for several organizations that regularly work with illegal immigrants, including the Hispanic Center of West Michigan, Michigan Immigration Rights Center, Refugee Education Center, and Kent County Welcome Plan.

The letter comes two days after Donald Trump was sworn in as the 47th POTUS on Monday. Trump immediately signed multiple executive orders to launch what he promised would be the largest deportation operation in the country’s history.

“All illegal entry will be halted,” Trump said in his inauguration address. “And we will begin the process of returning millions and millions of criminal aliens back to the places from which they came.”

WPS’ “family communication” about DHS’ designation of schools as “protected areas” is not accurate.

DHS officials announced Tuesday that guidance restricting ICE and U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents from carrying out immigration enforcement in sensitive locations like schools, churches and courthouses has been rescinded, The Associated Press reports.

“This action empowers the brave men and women in CBP and ICE to enforce our immigration laws and catch criminal aliens — including murderers and rapists — who have illegally come into our country,” according to Tuesday statement from the Department of Homeland Security. “Criminals will no longer be able to hide in America’s schools and churches to avoid arrest. The Trump Administration will not tie the hands of our brave law enforcement, and instead trusts them to use common sense.”

DHS cited a directive issued by Acting Secretary Benjamine Huffman on Monday.

The Migration Policy Institute estimates there are roughly 733,000 school aged children in the U.S. illegally, and about 651,000 or 89% are enrolled in school.
