Union members are building protections against threats from the Trump administration’s recent authorization of raids targeting places such as schools. In January, members of Saint Paul Federation of Educators (SPFE) Local 28 organized an Immigration Defense Committee to take action and stand in solidarity with the immigrant community in St. Paul, Minn. They are planning know-your-rights trainings and emergency resources for teachers and families.

According to a union spokesperson, SPFE has been educating members on the agenda of another Trump administration, including its threats against immigrants and working people. In a slew of executive orders during the first week back in office, the administration overturned a 13-year-old policy banning immigration enforcement from interfering in essential services at schools, hospitals, and churches.
