Florida's Office of Economic and Demographic Research reported that K-12 enrollment dropped by about 46,000 students due to chilling effects from immigration enforcement policies, with English-language learner enrollment declining by more than 17,000 students. Families are withdrawing children from school and avoiding public spaces out of fear, with some students missing one to two weeks of classes after hearing of ICE activity near their campuses. In Orange County, officials say roughly 1,200 Venezuelan students have left public schools this academic year, contributing to a decline that has prompted plans to close seven schools this summer. State and county law enforcement in Florida assist federal immigration agents through 287(g) agreements, the most in the nation.
