Amid the White House’s promises of sweeping crackdowns on illegal immigrants, youngsters aren’t immune from feeling they and their families are being targeted.

They may be afraid to attend school.

They shouldn’t be.

Local public school officials are affirming their “sanctuary” status, declaring their campuses and their records as safe havens for their pupils and their families.

The declarations are a message to those children and their families that they should feel “valued, safe and supported” at their schools, as San Rafael Superintendent Carmen Diaz Ghysels said.

Regardless of their immigration documentation, children who reside in the district should be welcomed at local public schools and should feel safe there.

Similar resolutions have been adopted in the Novato, Shoreline and Miller Creek school districts.

Among President Donald Trump’s flurry of executive actions was a rescission of a 2011 policy that forbade federal immigration officers from entering school campuses. He had announced that immigration agents could make arrests at schools and other locations such as churches and health care centers.

Trump’s vow to launch a sweeping arrest and deportation of undocumented immigrants was one of the key platforms of his successful bid to return to the White House.

Among Marin voters, Trump got a paltry 16.7% of the vote.

His Democratic challenger, then-Vice President Kamala Harris, got 80.6%.

The schools’ “sanctuary” actions reflect that stunning vote. College of Marin and San Rafael’s Dominican University of California have adopted policies regarding federal agents’ access to student information.

Local public school officials are getting guidance regarding possible interaction with immigration agents and ensuring that students’ privacy and confidentiality rights are protected.

Ghysels says the local resolutions reaffirm the constitutional right to public schools for every child.

These are difficult days for those living in Marin without immigration documentation. But being afraid to send your children to school, fearing seeking medical care or reluctance in calling local law enforcement authorities to report crimes are potentially harmful to public safety and health.

Local educators have stepped forward, once again, to reassure all students that measures have been adopted to protect their safety on their campuses.

Time will tell whether federal agents will respect local and state measures.

California Attorney General Rob Bonta has been a forceful defender of such resolutions.

State prosecutors have been prepared “for months” for the possibility that Trump would launch “his destructive immigration agenda,” Bonta said, promising the state “will continue to use the full force of the law and tools of this office to stand up for you,” referring to the nearly 11 million immigrants that reside across California.

State and local authorities are strongly linked in implementing measures to protect local students and to keep the White House’s immigration sweeps away from school campuses.
