Federal Judge OKs ICE Raids At Public Schools In Win For Trump

A federal judge has ruled against Denver Public Schools" attempt to stop 
immigration officials from raiding school grounds, marking a victory for the 
Trump administration as it seeks to intensify deportation efforts.

U.S. District Judge Daniel Domenico, a Trump appointee, determined that the 
district failed to prove that the recent decline in student attendance was 
caused by the administration reversing a 2021 Biden-era policy that protected 
schools-and other sensitive locations like churches-from ICE raids.

Currently, more than 1.4 million individuals remain on ICE's final order of 
removal docket, Fox News reported.

Denver Public Schools had filed a lawsuit against the Department of Homeland 
Security and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, arguing that the policy reversal had 
"hindered its mission" by instilling fear in students, leading to lower 
attendance.

The school district had requested a preliminary injunction to stop federal 
arrests at sensitive locations-a request that was denied. Judge Domenico also 
refused to issue a nationwide injunction that would have required immigration 
officials to revert to the 2021 guidance, Fox added.

In addition to citing a drop in attendance, the district argued that it had 
to divert resources to address the fear among students and families following 
the lifting of longstanding protections. The school system claimed that 
revoking the policy forced schools to invest time and resources in educating 
students and staff on staying safe during immigration enforcement encounters. 
For instance, staff have been trained to refuse entry to ICE officers unless 
they possess a warrant signed by a judge.

But Domenico, a former solicitor general for Colorado, noted that it was 
unclear how much of the fear was directly caused by the new rules versus 
broader concerns about heightened immigration enforcement actions.

He also noted that Denver Public Schools had not yet experienced any raids 
and that the head of ICE had issued a directive requiring supervisors" 
approval for immigration arrests at sensitive locations.

Domenico commented that both the alarm over the new rules and the belief that 
the old rules provided school protection appear to be "overstated."

"The lawsuit was brought by the school district, not the city of Denver, 
which is a sanctuary city. The lawsuit stated that there were more than 
90,000 students in the Denver Public Schools system during the 2023-2024 
school year, and approximately 4,000 were immigrants," Fox added.

Meanwhile, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem 
announced on Friday that some of the people allegedly responsible for leaking 
information about Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids have been 
caught.

"We have identified two leakers of information here at the Department of 
Homeland Security who have been telling individuals about our operations and 
putting law enforcement lives in jeopardy," she said in a post on X on 
Friday. "We plan to prosecute these two individuals and hold them accountable 
for what they've done."

"We're going to continue to do all that we can to keep America safe," she 
added.

Noem did not identify the individuals who were discovered.

Tricia McLaughlin, a spokesperson for DHS, told Fox News that the two people 
will face charges.

"We are preparing to refer these perpetrators to the DOJ for felony 
prosecutions," the spokesperson said. "These individuals face up to 10 years 
in federal prison. We will find and root out all leakers. They will face 
prison time, and we will get justice for the American people."
