I remember when schools used to feel like safe spaces, you know? Like a bubble where you could just focus on your studies and stuff. But now it feels like the world is literally at your doorstep. ICE agents showing up unannounced, detaining people... it's terrifying. I was in high school back in 2018 when this whole refugee crisis thing was going down, remember? People were fleeing war zones and seeking safety here. It felt like we were doing the right thing by helping them.
But now it feels like everything has gone wrong. The school's become a battlefield, with students stressed out because of all these ICE agents lurking around. And what can they do about it? They're just kids themselves! I feel so bad for Lila and her classmates. They shouldn't have to deal with this kind of trauma at such a young age.
We need to think about the bigger picture here, though. Why are ICE agents still showing up in schools like this? It's not right. We should be protecting these kids' safety, not putting them through this ordeal. The fact that Lila's article went viral and got so much attention is a good start, but we need to do more than just write about it.

like her hands shaking uncontrollably is no joke 
but seriously though her bravery in speaking out against ice's enforcement is truly inspiring 
it takes a lot of courage to use your platform as a student journalist to call for change and stand up for what you believe in 
i hope more students and community members are inspired by her example to speak out against injustice 
ICE enforcement in schools is a ticking time bomb 
63% of immigrant students reported feeling anxious or scared due to immigration enforcement, while only 22% felt supported by their schools 
. In the US, 1 in 4 undocumented immigrants are school-aged kids 
.
. Meanwhile, attendance at Roosevelt High School plummeted by 25% after the enforcement incident, with some classes missing up to 3 days straight 
.
. The school community came together to support each other, but it's clear that more needs to be done to address the root causes of this crisis 
. This is not just an issue for immigrant families, but also for students who are forced to witness and experience trauma firsthand 
.
ICE's actions are seriously freaking out this community and I'm like totally calling BS on the whole "just enforcing immigration laws" excuse
