Educators working with immigrant families are increasingly reporting negative impacts from heightened immigration enforcement, including elevated student anxiety and reduced attendance. A national survey by the EdWeek Research Center revealed that 86% of respondents have students from immigrant families. Since the rescission of the policy protecting schools from immigration enforcement, many educators have noted that fear and anxiety among students have intensified. Approximately 50% of educators indicated that their students expressed fear or anxiety this school year, with 24% reporting decreased attendance. The survey also found that responses to immigration enforcement varied significantly across districts, with many educators indicating a lack of clear protocols in place.

Educators nationwide report rising anxiety, reduced attendance, and learning disruptions among immigrant students due to intensified immigration enforcement. According to an EdWeek Research Center survey, 50% of educators working with immigrant families observed student fear this school year, and 75% said it interferes with learning. “Fear or anxiety is interfering with student learning ‘some’ or ‘a lot,’” particularly in large districts. While some districts share immigrant rights information or offer counseling, 42% took no action. Rural areas are less likely to have formal protocols for handling immigration officer requests, with only 30% reporting clear, written guidelines. Meanwhile, an analysis by Chalkbeat found that attendance rates dropped by 1.25 percentage points after news of immigration sweeps became public.

Pressure is mounting on the Berkeley USD as Congress initiates a "nationwide investigation of antisemitism in K-12 schools." The House Committee on Education and Workforce is particularly concerned about allegations that the district has failed to address harassment against Jewish and Israeli students since the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023. "The Committee is deeply concerned" about the district's obligations to prevent harassment, the letter stated. Berkeley officials characterized the allegations as outdated, asserting that they have addressed past incidents. Superintendent Enikia Ford Morthel previously testified that the district responded promptly to complaints of antisemitism. However, the investigation continues amid claims of a hostile environment for both Jewish and Palestinian students, with ongoing probes from the U.S. Education Department.

Representative Randy Fine (R-FL) has introduced the No Antisemitism in Education Act, which mandates schools to adopt the Working Definition of Antisemitism from the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA). "Today, we are witnessing an explosion of antisemitism unlike anything in our lifetimes," Fine said, emphasizing the urgent need for higher education institutions to protect Jewish students. He criticized the disparity in how antisemitism is addressed compared to other forms of racism, stating, "when the victim is Jewish, we suddenly get committees, task forces, statements, and more often absolutely nothing." The rise in antisemitism has been particularly notable since the October 7th, 2023, attacks by Hamas, prompting demonstrations at universities like Columbia. Fine previously introduced the Preventing Antisemitic Harassment on Campus Act, which seeks to amend the Civil Rights Act of 1965 to include antisemitism as a form of discrimination. "In 2025, Jewish students should not be afraid to walk across a college campus," he concluded.
