Teri Leigh ๐Ÿ’œ, You bring up a great point in this essay. ICE is impacting all the children in a neighborhood, no matter their skin color. The children not seeing their own family members being taken are still indirectly affected by the losses to their friend's families.

this story was from a suburban mom. Her community wasn't impacted nearly as badly as the city schools. In those schools, the teachers are in massive PTSD right now.

I'll bet they are! To look out and see 3 absent today, 5 absent the next day and so on... Knowing these are all now fearful immigrant children missing loved ones... This is very traumatizing for everyone impacted by the losses. The community is disintegrating from an outside, evil force.
