This case has absolutely ZERO impact or effect on federal authority to swoop into schools and start loading up illegal aliens of any age for deportation. Illegal aliens have absolutely NO PROTECTION from deportation procedures while at a school or anywhere else.

Plyler vs Doe requires a state school district to admit them for educational purposes, it does not protect them against any action by the federal government or any state action required by the federal government. NONE.

I don't know why some are trying to put protections where they do not exist. There is no place within the United States that is a "safe place" or a "sanctuary" for an illegal alien of any age for any purpose.

I don't understand why you're having a tough time comprehending the Plyler v. Doe ruling. The ruling does unfortunately protect illegal children while attending public school classes. Do I agree with it, no, but the facts are what they are.

This makes it very clear that the illegal immigrant children in primary & secondary schools are a constitutionally protected class under Plyler v. Doe.:

Instead, simply taking custody of undocumented students and educating them falls within Plyler’s constitutional protections.
