August ICE Raids Stoked Fear in Danbury Schools

During the first week of school in late August, ICE ran an operation in Danbury, where two-thirds of K-12 students are Latino, and agents approached a bus stop to detain parents dropping off their children. ICE’s Boston field office said it arrested 118 people. Third-grade teacher Erin Daly, president of NEA-Danbury, said one student refused the Pledge of Allegiance, saying “The flag does not keep me safe.”
