Immigration Updates from the Attorney General's Office and the Office for Refugees and Immigrants

Dear Superintendents, Charter School Leaders, Leaders of Educational Collaboratives, and Executive Directors of Approved Special Education Schools ,

Please see the information below from the Attorney General's Office and the state Office for Refugees and Immigrants. The updates concern recent federal actions about CBP One parole (involving people who used the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol's CBP One app to enter the country) and CHNV parole (a program for people from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela).

Sincerely,

Patrick Tutwiler
Interim Commissioner

Dear Massachusetts School Leaders:

We are writing as we have received questions about what effect recent federal actions related to CBP One parole and CHNV parole may have for families, students, and school staff. This email provides general information on these recent announcements.

: On April 14, a Federal Judge in Massachusetts put aHOLD on the Trump administration's attempt to categorically terminate the parole status of those who had been granted CHNV humanitarian parole. This means that the Trump Administration's CHNV parole termination order does NOT take effect until further court action. All individualized notices sent to noncitizens from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela via their USCIS online account notifying them that their parole is being revoked pursuant to the termination of CHNV parole, are STAYED and do NOT take effect until further court action.

CHNV is a parole program for individuals from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) recently announced a termination of the CHNV parole program (see DHS Notice, March 25, 2025). CHNV recipients were given until April 24, 2025 to depart the United States, with a corresponding end date for work authorization based on CHNV status. However, this termination order was recently (on April 14) stayed by a federal judge until further court action. All individualized notices sent to noncitizens from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela via their USCIS online account notifying them that their parole is being revoked without case-by-case review pursuant to the Termination of Parole Processes for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans, are STAYED pending further court order.

CBP One App refers to an app that allowed individuals to schedule CBP One appointments to cross the Southern Border into the U.S. legally and stay in the country for two years with "parole status." President Trump ended the CBP One program for new entrants on his first day in office. There are reports that CBP App users recently received a notice stating that they must depart the United States immediately if they lack another lawful form of presence. Many CBP One App entrants may have alternative, lawful status that allows them to remain lawfully in the United States, such as an asylum application, TPS, or other lawful status including pending immigration court proceedings. CBP One entrants who received a notice to appear in immigration court when they entered the U.S. may have an immigration court proceeding pending which may constitute a lawful basis to remain in the United States until their court proceeding is over.

Immigration matters are complex and highly individualized. As such, it is important that individuals who may have received the CBP One App notice or have CHNV paroleconsult with a qualified immigration attorney before taking any action. It is important they fully understand how these notices may apply to their specific circumstances.

A court has stayed the termination of CHNV parole, and individuals who entered the country through the CBP One app may have alternative, lawful status allowing them to remain in the United States.

Immigrant Students’ Rights to Attend Public Schools: School Opening Alert and Resources – Intercultural Development Research Association (IDRA)

1. School personnel – especially principals and those involved with student registration and enrollment – should be aware that they have no legal obligation to enforce U.S. immigration laws.

2. Schools should not use Social Security numbers for identification or registration purposes.

3. Denying children of undocumented workers access to an education is unconstitutional and against the law.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
This alert is a reminder that public schools, by law, must serve all children. The education of undocumented students is guaranteed by the Plyler vs. Doe decision, and certain procedures must be followed when registering immigrant children in school to avoid violation of their civil rights.

In Plyler vs. Doe, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that children of undocumented workers and children who themselves are undocumented have the same right to attend public primary and secondary schools as do U.S. citizens and permanent residents. Like other students, children of undocumented workers in fact are required under state laws to attend school until they reach a mandated age.

School personnel - especially principals and those involved with student registration and enrollment - should be aware that they have no legal obligation to enforce U.S. immigration laws.

This decision is vital because practices that deny or discourage immigrant children and families from public schooling do the following...

...victimize innocent children - Children of undocumented workers do not choose the conditions under which they enter the United States. They should not be punished for circumstances they do not control. Children have the right to learn and be useful members of society.

...are counterproductive for the country - Denying children access to education does not eliminate illegal immigration. Instead, it ensures the creation of an underclass. Without public education for children, illiteracy rates will increase and opportunities for workforce and community participation will decrease. Research has proven that for every $1 spent on the education of children, at least $9 is returned.

...waste valuable time while losing sight of principle goals of public education - Rather than teaching students, school officials would spend their time asking our millions of school children about their citizenship status. States would be forced to spend millions of dollars to do the work of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency.

...promote misinformation - Incorrect assumptions and inappropriate figures have been used to blame immigrants and their children for economic problems.

...encourage racism and discrimination - In turbulent, financially troubled times, immigration often becomes a focal point of public discourse. Many consider a preoccupation with the immigration status of children of undocumented workers to be a form of discrimination and racism.

As a result of the Plyler ruling, public schools may not:

deny admission to a student during initial enrollment or at any other time on the basis of undocumented status;

treat a student differently to determine residency;

engage in any practices to "chill" the right of access to school;

require students or parents to disclose or document their immigration status;

make inquiries of students or parents intended to expose their undocumented status; or

require social security numbers from all students, as this may expose undocumented status.

Schools should not use Social Security numbers for identification or registration purposes.

For those schools that do, it should be clear from the beginning that students who do not present a Social Security number will be assigned a number generated by the school. While schools may request a birth certificate, they may not bar students from enrolling if they do not have a birth certificate. Adults without social security numbers who are applying for a free lunch and/or breakfast program for a student need only state on the application that they do not have a social security number.

The Family Education Rights and Privacy Act prohibits schools from providing any outside agency - including the ICE agency - with any information from a child's school file that would expose the student's undocumented status. The only exception is if an agency gets a court order (subpoena) that parents can then challenge. Schools should note that even requesting such permission from parents might act to "chill" a student's Plyler rights.

The U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Department of Education in 2014 clarified the intent of the Plyler ruling in a letter advising school officials that activities that deny or discourage students to attend school are unlawful. The letter begins, "Under federal law, state and local educational agencies are required to provide all children with equal access to public education at the elementary and secondary level."

At IDRA, we are working to strengthen schools to work for all children, families and communities. Help us make this goal a reality for every child; we simply cannot afford the alternatives.

Denying children of undocumented workers access to an education is unconstitutional and against the law.

You can also visit IDRA's website for a printable flier in English and Spanish as well as a copy of the letter from the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Department of Education (May 2014). The site also has links to sample resolutions by school districts across the country that are issuing and updating policies to protect students' rights in light of uncertainty regarding federal immigration enforcement activities in their schools.

This website hosts information about two separate but related entities: The Boston Immigration Justice Accompaniment Network (BIJAN or "Beyond") and the Beyond Bond and Legal Defense Fund (BBLDF). Learn more about each below.

These are our values in all our work:

We honor people's dignity and choices in a system that denies dignity and choice.

We expect messiness, confusion, and discomfort, and we also choose courage and trust.

We judge the system, not people.

We fight for one another as family, because we are.

About the Boston Immigration Justice Accompaniment Network (BIJAN)

We are a community network of faith communities, individuals and other activist groups working to reduce the escalating harm of our immigration system in the current political context.

Get help: We provide accompaniment, which can include support in court or at ICE check-ins, legal referrals, fundraising for bond or legal fees, letters of support from the community, rides for families to visit loved ones in detention, and logistical assistance with paperwork or bond payments, and more. We also help with housing, transportation, and other immediate needs of people released on bond who have no other resources in the community.

Get involved: We organize individuals, congregations, and others interested in showing up for each other to provide accompaniment and support as needed. Additionally, we provide opportunities to take action to support systemic change.

We work closely with immigration justice and abolitionist organizations to support those impacted by our racist immigration system. As an accompaniment network, we take action only in response to requests from those in need of support, or their representatives (family, attorneys, etc.) We don't make promises, but we are good at trying very hard.

About the Beyond Bond Fund

The Beyond Bond & Legal Defense Fund (the Bond Fund) raises money for immigration bonds to free people in ICE prisons in Massachusetts and Rhode Island or those detained elsewhere who are from or returning to MA.. Since 2018, our community has raised over $1.5 million, to bond out hundreds of people, and helped with legal fees for many others. Learn more about the Fund here. The Beyond Bond & Legal Defense Fund is a separate project incubated by the Boston Immigration Justice Accompaniment Network.

THE BEYOND BOND & LEGAL DEFENSE FUND IS A SEPARATE PROJECT INCUBATED BY THE BOSTON IMMIGRATION JUSTICE ACCOMPANIMENT NETWORK. BEYOND BOND AND LEGAL DEFENSE FUND, INC. IS A 501(C)(3) AND IS TAX EXEMPT UNDER IRS SECTION 170. EIN 85-0974406
