Neronha pushes back on Trump allowing ICE agents into schools, churches

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WLNE) — The Rhode Island Attorney General and the state department of education shared guidance with schools Monday on the rights of school children, regardless of their nationality or immigration status.

Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Neronha saying in a statement:

Unless there is a real public safety exigency, immigration enforcement does not belong on school grounds where it has the potential to negatively impact all students regardless of immigration status. Now and always, we must protect our children.

This comes after the Trump administration reported ICE agents are allowed at sensitive places, including schools, hospitals and churches.
