"Take the case of 11-year-old Jocelynn Rojo Carranza, who died by suicide after classmates threatened to report her family to Ice. Her death is a reminder that Trump’s immigration agenda doesn’t just empower officers to enforce the law – it emboldens ordinary people to act as enforcers themselves. By stripping away critical safeguards like the Sensitive Locations Memorandum, the government is sanctioning a culture of fear where teachers, neighbors and even classmates feel justified in weaponizing deportation. This turns immigration status into a tool of exclusion – one that doesn’t just separate families but erodes the very institutions meant to serve and protect communities."
