JAC is co-counsel in PCUN v. Noem, challenging the administration’s revocation of protections from schools and other sensitive areas
MINNEAPOLIS—Yesterday, border patrol agents entered the grounds of Roosevelt High School during dismissal, and video footage shows agents chased, tackled, and deployed tear gas at students and faculty hours after Renee Good was killed. Below is a statement from Karen Tumlin, Founder and Director of Justice Action Center:
“All students deserve to feel safe at school and free from fear, especially by their own country’s government. In Minneapolis and across the country, the Department of Homeland Security continues to disrupt everyday life for children, families, and communities. That’s why last year, Justice Action Center and co-counsel filed PCUN v. Noem, the federal lawsuit challenging the administration’s revocation of longstanding protections barring immigration enforcement from sensitive places including schools and day care centers.
“As a mother, I am heartbroken to see our country’s children grow up fearing for their safety when they should be focused on learning and growing. JAC remains committed to working with our plaintiffs to use every legal tool available to keep our schools safe.”
