Today, President Trump began his second term, the Department of Homeland Security changed its policy on making immigration arrests at places like schools, hospitals, and places of worship.

For more than a decade, DHS had restricted arrests at those places.

Now, officers are just told to use discretion and a healthy dose of common sense.

Last month, the Denver school system became the first district to go to court over the change, and late Friday, a federal

judge denied their request to temporarily pause the new policy. So far, there haven't been any

raids at schools, but just the possibility has some parents keeping their children out of classes

and some schools scrambling to be ready for them.

Here's what some educators and a student told us.

The student asked us to hide his identity for safety reasons.

I'm a 12-grader, and I've been living in the country for five years.

My family was afraid because I wanted to go to school because I want to be

someone in the future. If a child is too stressed in a classroom to even concentrate, how can they

possibly learn anything when they may be sitting at that desk

worrying if when they go back home, if their parents are going to be there or not?

There are some kids I have not seen since January 20th. I started receiving messages, text messages,

WhatsApp messages from students saying, you know,

miss, I'm scared, I don't know what to do, my parents don't want me to go to the bus stop.

We already know that we have a national teacher shortage in our country. What this is doing

is now putting out a stress on our teachers. I know these parents expect me to try and help their children, and that is very sacred,

and it's a trust that I will not betray. I see myself as a line of defense for my students.

We came here to have a better life.

So probably I hope nothing's going to happen to us.
