NC bill seeks protections for immigrant students amid ICE fears
More than 20,000 students were absent from Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools during immigration enforcement operations last fall, according to district reporting, a wave of fear that helped spark a new bill in the North Carolina General Assembly aimed at protecting immigrant students in public schools.
House Bill 1061, titled the “Plyler Educational Protections,” would reinforce students’ right to public education and establish clearer guidance for how schools respond to federal immigration enforcement requests.
Sammy Salkin, a senior policy strategist for the ACLU of North Carolina, said the legislation was created with one focus in mind.
“We want to make it clear that all children in North Carolina, regardless of immigration status, have a constitutional right to a free public school education,” Salkin said.
Well, the thing is, federal immigration agents weren’t going into schools. And it is insane that the Supreme Court ruled in 1982 in Plyler v. Doe that illegal alien kids have to receive education on the taxpayer dime. But, there’s plenty of law that says the illegal alien parents can be picked up and deported
Salkin said North Carolina immigrant communities across the state have experienced increasing fear over the past year after “Operation Charlotte’s Web” in November 2025. This initiative was a Department of Homeland Security immigration enforcement operation in which many people were arrested across the Charlotte area and the surrounding regions of North Carolina.
Good. They should self deport.
State Representative Julia Greenfield, one of the bill’s primary sponsors, said the legislation is intended to accomplish the goal of making schools safe environments for students.
I wonder what party she is?
Despite support from advocacy groups and Democratic lawmakers, Greenfield said she does not expect the legislation to advance this session.
“I don’t believe that it will go anywhere here in the legislature because we are in the minority,” Greenfield said. “The Republican majority is not interested in legislation that would keep ICE and CBP out of our schools.”
They still don’t mention here party, just hint at it. She’s a Democrat, a member of the Progressive House Caucus, and her district, 100, covers part of uber-leftist Mecklenburg County (where Charlotte is). AWFL. And, yeah, the legislation will never make it out of
