This piece is written from a child health and public health perspective. It is an examination of what happens to children and communities when immigration enforcement actions intersect with schools—and why that harm must be named.

Not an exaggeration at all to say that the feeling in Minneapolis is that the entire metro area is being treated as occupied territory by federal agents. Impossible to overstate how overwhelmingly people here do not like it. This does not feel sustainable.
