Seguin ISD clarifies district protocols should ICE arrive at local campuses Superintendent sends letters to families over the weekend Cindy Aguirre-Herrera
(Seguin) – The Seguin ISD is doing its part to make sure families understand how it hopes to respond should ICE execute a warrant at one of its campuses. Although it has been confirmed that no ICE agents have visited Seguin ISD campuses as of today, district officials say they felt it was important to offer clarity on protocols and procedures should a visit occur in the future. Over the weekend, Seguin ISD Superintendent Veronica Vijil addressed Seguin ISD families of these protocols in a written statement. The letter reads, “Recently, the Department of Homeland Security announced a reversal of a policy that restricted arrests by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers in locations such as schools, hospitals, and places of worship. We understand that this announcement may have generated anxiety and uncertainty for some of our families. Seguin ISD is dedicated to creating a
welcoming and inclusive learning environment for all students, staff, and community members. As a public school district in Texas, we are legally obligated to educate all students, regardless of their citizenship status, in a non-discriminatory manner.” The letter also laid out relevant state and federal laws and local board policies – policies the district says outline clear procedures for interactions between campus personnel and law enforcement authorities. Dr. Vijil further stated that SISD will review and address all immigration-related requests from law enforcement on a case-bycase basis in compliance with applicable laws and collaboration with appropriate authorities. She states, “this process includes communicating with parents or guardians. If ICE executes a warrant at one of our campuses, we will promptly alert parents to prevent misinformation.” ICE, pg. 3
