State and federal law gives the school the authority and the obligation to protect the rights of all students to a public K-12 education free from discrimination and bullying, and regardless of immigration status of any student or family.

We applaud Attorney General Keith Ellison for taking action in a memo: "Minnesota law prohibits state and local law enforcement agencies from holding someone based on an immigration detainer if the person would otherwise be released from custody."
