NPR: 'We call it the walking bus': How kids are getting to school amid ICE operations

For months, the Trump administration has sent immigration enforcement agents into American cities. Residents in cities experiencing a surge in Immigration and Customs Enforcement activity have reported feeling increasingly fearful. In these neighborhoods, community members are helping alleviate that feeling by walking children, whose parents are afraid to leave the home, to school. In Washington, D.C., some groups call these efforts a "walking bus." In an effort to better understand how ICE's efforts are impacting communities, Morning Edition host Leila Fadel went out into the nation's capital to learn more about these walking buses. Most people NPR interviewed were too afraid to speak publicly, fearing it might make their schools targets of the federal government. Listen to how community members, parents and students who use the walking bus are adjusting to the changes in their community under this administration, and read more about the community response.
