This guide is not a political statement; rather, it is a call to live out our Catholic values by ensuring the safety and well-being of all students, especially those facing the uncertainty and fear of deportation. By preparing, we can provide our students and their families with the protection, support, and compassion they need during one of the most difficult experiences of their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This guide offers strategies for educators, administrators, and support staff to respond effectively and compassionately in the event of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raid on a Salesian school campus. Rooted in the Salesian values of love, protection, and solidarity, it aims to protect our immigrant students from the risks of human trafficking, abandonment, or exploitation if they or their parents are detained. While we hope never to face such a situation, it is essential to prepare in advance. This preparation ensures that we can act swiftly and effectively to safeguard our students and provide the necessary support. Our response must remain non- political, grounded instead in the teachings of the Gospel, Catholic social doctrine, and Salesian spirituality, which call us to approach every situation with compassion, justice, and pastoral care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As Salesian and Catholic educators, we are called to live out the Gospel\u2019s message of love, mercy, and justice, especially for the most vulnerable among us. The dignity of each child is at the heart of our mission, and we are entrusted with the responsibility to protect their right to an education, safety, and a future filled with hope. In moments of crisis, such as an ICE raid, it is our duty to respond with urgency, compassion, and a spirit of solidarity, rooted deeply in our Salesian philosophy of education and Catholic social teaching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let us always remember:&nbsp;<em>\u201cDo not be afraid, for I am with you\u201d&nbsp;<\/em>(Isaiah 41:10). In these moments of crisis, our schools must be places of refuge, solidarity, and hope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:15px\">Source: <em>A Salesian Guide for Supporting Young People of Immigrant Families, <\/em>page 2<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/salesianbulletin.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/salesian-guide-for-supporting-students-of-immigrant-families.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Incrustado de Salesian Guide for Supporting Students of Immigrant Families.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-ee440c6d-342e-48b8-aa70-837347bdcbb9\" href=\"https:\/\/salesianbulletin.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/salesian-guide-for-supporting-students-of-immigrant-families.pdf\">Salesian Guide for Supporting Students of Immigrant Families<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/salesianbulletin.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/salesian-guide-for-supporting-students-of-immigrant-families.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-ee440c6d-342e-48b8-aa70-837347bdcbb9\">Download<\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Los Angeles, California) &#8211; A Salesian Commitment to Love and Protection As Salesians of Don Bosco, we have a special responsibility to care for and protect the most vulnerable in our communities.
