As the Trump administration hands over to the Biden administration, unease and uncertainty permeate the hearts of DACA students and their undocumented families. For years during the former presidency, raids and deportations cast a shadow over education, eroding trust and fostering fear. Now, on the precipice of a change in leadership, some immigrant families harbor apprehension about whether schools will remain welcoming spaces where their children can thrive, or if the specter of enforced removals will once again haunt the hallways. The fate of these young learners hinges on the policy decisions and messaging emanating from the White House, which will either assuage or exacerbate their fears.
