In Minneapolis, kids are scared to go to school. They worry about ICE agents taking their parents away. Some kids even hide in their basements to do online classes. Others have panic attacks in the middle of class. It's a tough time for everyone.
ICE agents are everywhere. They show up at bus stops, schools, and even outside churches. This makes it hard for kids to focus on their lessons. They are worried about their families and friends. Some kids don't go to school at all. They stay home because they are afraid.
Teachers are trying to help. They teach kids what to do if ICE comes. They also talk about civil rights and how to stay safe. But it's hard. Teachers are worried too. They don't know how to explain everything to their students.
Some kids carry whistles to alert others if ICE is nearby. Others have started carrying passports, even though they shouldn't have to. It's a lot for young kids to handle. They see their friends disappearing. They worry about their parents. It's a scary time for everyone.
Teachers and parents are protesting. They want ICE to stop the raids. They want their kids to feel safe again. But until then, the fear continues. It's a tough situation, and no one knows when it will end.
