Minnesota school districts and teachers union sue over Trump immigration policy

Two Minnesota school districts and the Education Minnesota teachers union are suing to block a Trump administration policy allowing immigration enforcement near schools.
The policy change has led to fears of raids, resulting in significant drops in student attendance and funding losses for the districts.
Superintendents reported that attendance dropped by nearly a third in some schools, with many families opting for virtual learning or leaving the area altogether.
