“…In another study, Bellows (2019) examined the effects of the staggered rollout of the Secure Communities policy on student achievement measures using the Stanford Education Data Archive (SEDA) and found that the implementation of Secure Communities and its associated removals had a negative impact on both Latino/a and non-Latino/a Black students’ scores in English language arts (ELA) as well as non-Latino/a Black students’ scores in math. Work by Dee and Murphy (2019) also showed that agreements between ICE and local police to enforce immigration laws had strong effects on Latino/a student mobility. They found that local ICE partnerships reduced the number of Latino/a students by almost 10% in a 2-year period, with nearly 300,000 Latino/a students moving districts between 2000 and 2010.…”

Deportations Near the Schoolyard: Examining Immigration Enforcement and Racial/Ethnic Gaps in Educational Outcomes

With increased tensions and political rhetoric surrounding immigration enforcement in the United States, schools are facing greater challenges in ensuring support for their students of immigrant and Latino/a origin. This study examined the associations between deportations near school districts and racial/ethnic gaps in educational outcomes in school districts across the country. With data from the Stanford Educational Data Archive, the Civil Rights Data Collection, and the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse, this study used longitudinal, cross-sectional analyses and found that in the years when districts had more deportations occurring within 25 miles, White-Latino/a gaps were larger in math achievement and rates of chronic absenteeism. No associations were found for gaps in English language arts achievement or rates of bullying. Implications for researchers, policymakers, and school leaders are discussed.

“…They find that effects are concentrated primarily among younger students, with the children of likely unauthorized immigrants aged 6 to 13 years more likely to repeat grades and drop out of school in the wake of immigration enforcement policies. The activation of 287(g) programs specifically decreased the school enrollment of Hispanic students (Dee & Murphy, 2018), although it is unclear whether this decrease is the result of migration or dropping out.…”

Immigration Enforcement and Student Achievement in the Wake of Secure Communities

Over the past decade, U.S. immigration enforcement policies have increasingly targeted unauthorized immigrants residing in the U.S. interior, many of whom are the parents of U.S.-citizen children. Heightened immigration enforcement may affect student achievement through stress, income effects, or student mobility. I use one immigration enforcement policy, Secure Communities, to examine this relationship. I use the staggered activation of Secure Communities across counties to measure its relationship with average achievement for Hispanic students, as well as non-Hispanic Black and White students. I find that the activation of Secure Communities was associated with decreases in average achievement for Hispanic students in English Language Arts as well as Black students in English Language Arts and math. Similarly, I find that increases in removals are associated with decreases in achievement for Hispanic and Black students. I note that the timing of rollout is potentially correlated with other county trends affecting results.

“…We also suspect that pregnant mothers are less likely to change locations than are nonpregnant mothers (since our window of examination surrounds conception). These reasons mitigate our concerns about migration, particularly in relation to other studies based on nonpregnant individuals in locations with more entrenched immigrant populations [ 60 ].…”

Heightened immigration enforcement impacts US citizens’ birth outcomes: Evidence from early ICE interventions in North Carolina

et al. 2021

We examine how increased Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activities impacted newborn health and prenatal care utilization in North Carolina around the time Section 287(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act was first being implemented within the state. Focusing on administrative data between 2004 and 2006, we conduct difference-in-differences and triple-difference case-control regression analysis. Pregnancies were classified by levels of potential exposure to immigration enforcement depending on parental nativity and educational attainment. Contrast groups were foreign-born parents residing in nonadopting counties and all US-born non-Hispanic parents. The introduction of the program was estimated to decrease birth weight by 58.54 grams (95% confidence interval [CI], −83.52 to −33.54) with effects likely following from reduced intrauterine growth. These results are shown to coexist with a worsening in the timing of initiation and frequency of prenatal care received. Since birth outcomes influence health, education, and earnings trajectories, our findings suggest that the uptick in ICE activities can have large socioeconomic costs over US-born citizens.
