The United States has a long history of mass deportations. So how is this round different? There are many reasons, but perhaps the most notable is that President Trump has removed long-standing restrictions that prevented ICE agents from raiding institutions once considered sacrosanct, like churches, hospitals, and schools.

Unfortunately, many teachers have toxic jobs and don’t realize that’s the cause for the exhaustion, anxiety, and unhappiness they can’t shake. Others know their job is to blame, but don’t know what to do about it.

In another area, a group of kids is acting out a play–you hope that’s fake blood. Near the window, there’s someone reciting something in a language you don’t understand. Mandarin perhaps?
