New watchdog database names hundreds of school districts limiting ICE cooperation as tool for parents

New database reveals 700+ school districts with immigration policies limiting federal cooperation. Parents can search how their schools respond to ICE.

Students protest against ICE during a walkout at the University of Minnesota on January 26, 2026 in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

"There is no easy answer when you fear for your students and their families because of their immigration status, but schools should not be declaring themselves sanctuary schools or safe havens from federal authorities, especially if/when they are, knowingly or not, shielding violent family members of their students from deportation."

The database allows parents to search by state and district and links directly to the resolutions or policy documents where available, giving families the ability to review the language for themselves rather than relying on district summaries or public statements.

Students across the country have been spotted at anti-ICE rallies in recent weeks, including in Phoenix on Monday where hundreds of students walked out of class in a staged protest, Fox 10 Phoenix reported.

In Minnesota, students have protested at the state capitol as school districts have closed due to "safety concerns" over ICE raids. Additionally, Fox News Digital reported a member of the St. Paul Board of Education and prominent Black Lives Matter activist was arrested for storming a local church.
