MINNEAPOLIS — The Minneapolis school district has announced that families will have the opportunity to opt for remote learning for a month, a decision driven by rising anxiety over federal immigration enforcement in the city.
This development was communicated to educators through internal emails obtained by The Associated Press. The timing aligns with a significant deployment of 2,000 immigration agents to Minneapolis, a move that has raised alarms within the community.
The decision comes on the heels of a tragic incident earlier this week, where a local woman was fatally shot by a federal agent, further intensifying the climate of fear among families. In light of these events, the district hopes to provide a safe alternative for students while the community grapples with the ramifications of aggressive immigration policies.}
