His administration separated thousands of migrant children from their parents after they had crossed into the United States. The policy was intended to discourage family migration, and it set off public outrage as images surfaced of weeping toddlers pulled from their mothers\u2019 arms.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">This time, Mr. Trump has shifted his attention to the interior of the country, as he seeks to fulfill his pledge to carry out mass deportations \u2014 a goal that has drawn relatively broad support. And teachers, parents and other caregivers say the very public detention and deportation effort is taking a particularly heavy toll on young people in immigrant families.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cEvery day I worry they could take my mom,\u201d Ximena, 11 \u2014 who was born in California and whose Mexican mother has lived in the United States for decades \u2014 said before breaking into tears.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Nine million children, 17 percent of all 5- to 17-year-olds, live in a U.S. household with at least one noncitizen adult who could be affected by immigration enforcement, according to a report released this month by the <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kff.org\/racial-equity-and-health-policy\/issue-brief\/potential-impacts-of-increased-immigration-enforcement-on-school-attendance-and-funding\/?utm_campaign=KFF-Racial-Equity-Health-Policy&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;_hsenc=p2ANqtz-9J9-rJFS7F4MrMjFQQmmVEaQb8ZeYgvjUiFufJ79xcMAo-qjp9xOjikPTb0Xf8ieOxwMArrGjnV0FKHvqdpBsAZC3FPQ&amp;_hsmi=355094515&amp;utm_content=355094515&amp;utm_source=hs_email\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Kaiser Family Foundation.<\/a> The share is one in three children in California and about one in four in Nevada, New Jersey and Texas.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Within hours of his inauguration, Mr. Trump\u2019s administration rescinded a longstanding policy that had generally barred immigration agents from entering schools, houses of worship and other \u201csensitive\u201d locations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cCriminals will no longer be able to hide in America\u2019s schools and churches to avoid arrest,\u201d said a statement issued by the Homeland Security Department that ricocheted across social media and news outlets.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">There have been no reports of ICE actions inside schools. But rumors and, in some cases, sightings of agents around schools have stirred anxiety among parents and children.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cYou say my child can be safe with you,\u201d read a text from a parent to Ms. Casteel that she shared with The Times, \u201cbut the problem will be for us to go drop him off and pick him up later.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">As Times reporters have been interviewing people across the country about the impact of the crackdown, the effect on school-age children has emerged as a recurrent concern among psychologists, teachers and parents. They said many students were having trouble concentrating. Some were more fidgety. Others had become disruptive. And still others were notably subdued.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In interviews in Colorado, Ohio and Texas, young people talked about the impact on their lives.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Parents agreed to allow their children to speak to the Times on condition that only first names be published.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\"><strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\">Manou, a Haitian girl in Columbus, Ohio, summed up her life in recent months like this: <\/strong>\u201cWe just go to school and back, school and home,\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Her family trekked to the southern border two years ago and found their way to Columbus, where they felt safe and settled.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">They qualified for Temporary Protected Status, a U.S. program that shields people from deportation when they have come from countries in upheaval. Manou\u2019s mother and father got jobs at FedEx.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But their routine has been upended by Mr. Trump\u2019s return to the White House, she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Her parents kept Manou, who is a senior, and her two younger siblings home from school for a week after Mr. Trump was sworn in. Her 9-year-old sister still refuses to go to school many days, fearing ICE could separate her family.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Manou, who is 17, is not allowed to go to the gym or take her siblings to the public library.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Gone are outings with friends and trips to visit relatives in other states.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWe would go to the park, do barbecue with friends,\u201d Manou said. \u201cNow we can\u2019t do anything.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Trump administration recently announced that it was terminating Temporary Protected Status for Haitians. While that decision is facing court challenges, her family worries that they would be forced to leave the country if they were stripped of the status.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Returning to Haiti, where much of the capital and some other parts of the country are no longer under government control, and violence is rampant, is an impossibility, she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt\u2019s so hard for us,\u201d Manou said, fighting tears. \u201cWe are so tired. We are scared here. We are scared to go back to our country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But she has not lost hope. She has been accepted into a U.S. college and continues to nurture her dream of working for the F.B.I. or C.I.A.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Until this year, <strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\">Aianna, <\/strong>the daughter of undocumented Mexicans<strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\">,<\/strong> was a carefree 10-year-old girl whose biggest concern was making sure her pets \u2014 a bunny named Chopper, three cats and a dog \u2014 were happy and healthy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Aianna\u2019s family lives comfortably in Denver. Her father has a house-painting business. Like Aianna, her two siblings are also U.S.-born, including a sister who is in the Navy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-6\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Aianna\u2019s parents, who crossed the border three decades ago, tried to avoid discussing immigration issues in front of their fourth grader. But at school, children began talking about ICE.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">One of her classmates, Jesus, shared that agents had come to his neighborhood.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">She began fretting that they could take away her best friend, a Venezuelan girl in her class, with whom she spends lunch and recess. Aianna trusts her with secrets.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI don\u2019t want\u201d the friend \u201cto have to go back to Venezuela just because of the new \u2018law,\u2019\u201d Aianna explained, saying that, as she understood it, \u201cpeople can\u2019t live here if they aren\u2019t U.S. citizens.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Amid intensified enforcement, Aianna\u2019s mother decided to sit her daughter down to explain that a relative would come forward to care for her should ICE detain them. She reassured her that they would not be separated forever.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-7\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Aianna said that she couldn\u2019t help but think about it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cSometimes, at night, it\u2019s hard to fall asleep.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In class, she said, \u201cI worry and just zoom out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\"><strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\">Anderson<\/strong> arrived in the United States two years ago from El Salvador, after his father, who had crossed the border a few years earlier, opened a car-repair shop in Columbus.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Anderson quickly mastered English.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A history buff, he often texts his teacher to ask for extra material \u2014 about the Marshall Plan, the Constitution, she said \u2014 and Anderson aspires to be a social studies teacher.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But Anderson and his father are in the country unlawfully.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Whenever there are rumors of ICE operations, or unfamiliar vehicles in their neighborhood, Anderson\u2019s father urges him to stay home from school.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-8\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI don\u2019t want to do that, because the reason I go to school every day is because I want to be successful,\u201d said Anderson, who is in 11th grade. \u201cAnd, also, in my school I have a lot of teachers who help me and who protect me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">So he goes to school every day but has scrapped soccer, bowling and baseball.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">If he could, Anderson said, he would ask Mr. Trump to give him and other undocumented people the chance to stay and prove their worth.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWe are not criminals,\u201d he said. \u201cWe are just trying to work hard.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He added: \u201cI\u2019m scared, but I\u2019m focused on my goals. That\u2019s the only thing I try to think about.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\"><strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\">Melinda, 17, <\/strong>entered the country legally and has a pending application for a green card as a dependent of her mother, a refugee from Rwanda.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But each time that she and her mother leave their apartment in Columbus, they carry documents to prove that they are lawfully in the United States, just in case they are stopped by immigration agents or police officers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-9\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Melinda is especially anxious for her friends who are undocumented, or who have undocumented parents.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThe president should deport criminals,\u201d she said. \u201cHe should forgive people who work hard for this country and pay taxes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">An honor roll student, she said that their plight had motivated her to become a lawyer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-10\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\"><strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\">Pabi,<\/strong> 17, will be the first in her family to attend college when she enrolls at the University of Colorado Boulder next fall.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But these days, she can\u2019t help but wonder whether her parents and brother will still be in the United States when she graduates. They are undocumented.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-11\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt\u2019s that constant fear, like any moment in time your family could be stripped away,\u201d she said, sitting on the steps of the State Capitol after participating an immigration rally in Denver last month.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-12\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Her parents sneaked across the border 25 years ago from Mexico. Since then, she said, they have consistently filed their tax returns, hoping that Congress would eventually pass immigration reform to adjust their status and that of others. However, the chance that that will happen has only grown slimmer, while the threat of deportation looms larger.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Her brother, 26, is a recipient of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, an Obama-era program that has protected from deportation hundreds of thousands of unauthorized immigrants brought to the country as children. But DACA has been entangled in legal battles since Mr. Trump tried to end it during his first term, and its survival remains at risk.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">On a recent evening, Pabi\u2019s mother arrived home from her construction job in paint-splattered and dusty work clothes, washed up and helped her daughter slip into a gold, shimmery gown for senior prom.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-13\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">She marveled at her daughter \u2014 all grown up, she said, ready to take part in a quintessential American ritual.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cSee, this country is where we belong,\u201d said Pabi, \u2018\u2018where we celebrate special moments together and make happy memories.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Then, on further reflection, she said, \u201cIt could start out as a good day, but we can\u2019t be sure anymore that it will end that way.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async
