Checks, Balances, and Resistance: The Impact of an Anti‐Immigrant Federal Administration on a School for Immigrant Teenagers

The 2016 presidential election was dominated by anti‐immigrant rhetoric where truths counted for less than bombast, obscuring the fact that the majority of refugees and immigrants are women and children. This article describes how teachers and students in a school for newly arrived immigrants are adapting to the reality of the new administration.
