Denver Public Schools says other districts may join immigration suit

Denver Public Schools this week is believed to be the first district in the nation to sue the Trump administration over immigration enforcement in schools — but it's likely not the last.

The latest: DPS officials have heard from "several" school districts that are interested in joining its lawsuit or pursuing similar action, spokesperson Scott Pribble told Axios Denver.

Pribble declined to name them but confirmed they are large, urban school districts like DPS.
State of play: The move comes after the Trump administration rolled back long-standing federal policies that restricted immigration enforcement in sensitive locations, such as schools.

The lawsuit also follows a wave of immigration raids in the metro area last week that led to the brief detainment of four students from Place Bridge Academy in the Washington Virginia Vale neighborhood, Pribble said, and prevented school buses from picking up children.
Zoom in: DPS' lawsuit, filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Denver against the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, argues the immigration crackdown has significantly lowered school attendance and is jeopardizing state funding, which is tied to enrollment.
