I know that news of ICE sightings near our neighborhoods is creating real fear — especially for parents taking their kids to school each morning. I want to assure our families that our schools remain safe places for students to learn, grow, and be cared for. No child should ever be afraid to go to school.
At the same time, I understand that fear deeply. During the Bush administration in the early 2000s, I remember what it felt like to live with that constant worry — barely sleeping, always wondering if my mom would make it home. That trauma doesn’t leave you easily. It stays with you.
That’s why tomorrow and this week I will personally be at Alder Elementary and Highland Elementary — two schools where ICE activity was reported nearby — to support our families and make sure our community knows we are looking out for one another.
Let’s continue to look out for our neighbors, share accurate information, and keep calm. Our community is strong because we show up for one another — in moments like these, that matters most.
