HISD Loses Nearly 4,000 Immigrant Students

Houston ISD has lost nearly 4,000 immigrant students amid fears of ICE enforcement, with families staying home rather than risk detention. Las Americas Newcomer School was forced to merge its entire student body into adjacent Jane Long Academy due to plummeting enrollment. An 18-year-old student, Mauro Yosueth Henriquez, and his father were detained by ICE and held at the Montgomery Processing Center in Conroe for nearly two months.
