An Open Letter

To: Sen. Van Hollen, Sen. Alsobrooks, Rep. Elfreth

From: A constituent in Arnold, MD

January 18

I'm writing to urge you to pass legislation similar to California's to protect schools and students. No one should be afraid to attend school. Specifically I would like the following included( at least) Notification and Protection for Educational Institutions -The bill requires schools and higher education institutions to send community notifications when immigration enforcement is on campus, and prohibits immigration enforcement from entering certain areas without a judicial warrant or court order. Protect Immigrant Children -This bill prohibits schools from allowing immigration enforcement officers on campus without a warrant.   The bill would require school officials and employees to request valid identification of any officer or employee of an agency conducting immigration enforcement seeking to enter a nonpublic area of a school campus. -The bill would also prohibit a local educational agency and its personnel from disclosing or providing, in writing, verbally, or in any other manner, the education records of or any information about a pupil or a pupil’s family and household without the pupil’s parents’ or guardians’ written consent, a school employee, or a teacher to an officer or employee of an agency conducting immigration enforcement without a valid judicial warrant or judicial subpoena, or court order directing the local educational agency or its personnel to do so. Thank you, https://www.foxla.com/news/new-california-immigration-laws-2026
