Movimiento Victoria Ciudadana asked the House of Representatives on Nov 7 to strengthen protections for public-school students against interventions by ICE, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, warning that Senate Bill 1062 as approved strips safeguards the island's school protocols already provide. [1][2]
The Senate passed PS 1062 on Nov 5 by a vote of 20 to 4, after amendments reshaped a bill originally drafted to protect all immigrant students from discrimination. [3][4] The amended version may allow ICE interventions on school grounds, and it makes legal consultation with the Puerto Rico Department of Justice and the accompaniment of an intervened student by a parent or tutor optional. [5][6] Under the Department of Education's current protocol, both legal consultation and student accompaniment are required. [7]
ACLU of Puerto Rico warned that the bill's amendments violate students' constitutional rights. [8] Victoria Ciudadana's statement objects that the measure removes the prior legal-advice requirement before school staff release student data, and it asks the House to restore the constitutional safeguards of the original draft. [9][10]
The party frames the fight as part of a broader campaign: it belongs to the Front of Organizations Against Trump Migration Policies, and its municipal legislators have filed migrant-protection ordinances in six Puerto Rico municipalities. [11][12] The debate now reaches a school system that has already closed 265 public schools. [13]El Movimiento Victoria Ciudadana le pidió a la Cámara de Representantes el 7 de noviembre que fortalezca las protecciones de los estudiantes de las escuelas públicas frente a intervenciones de ICE, la agencia de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas de Estados Unidos, al advertir que el Proyecto del Senado 1062, según fue aprobado, despoja salvaguardas que los protocolos escolares de la isla ya proveen. [1][2]
El Senado aprobó el PS 1062 el 5 de noviembre por una votación de 20 a 4, luego de que unas enmiendas transformaran un proyecto redactado originalmente para proteger de la discriminación a todos los estudiantes inmigrantes. [3][4] La versión enmendada podría permitir intervenciones de ICE en los predios escolares, y hace opcional la consulta legal con el Departamento de Justicia de Puerto Rico y el acompañamiento de un estudiante intervenido por parte de un padre o tutor. [5][6] Bajo el protocolo actual del Departamento de Educación, tanto la consulta legal como el acompañamiento del estudiante son requeridos. [7]
La ACLU de Puerto Rico advirtió que las enmiendas del proyecto violan los derechos constitucionales de los estudiantes. [8] La declaración de Victoria Ciudadana objeta que la medida elimina el requisito de asesoría legal previa antes de que el personal escolar divulgue los datos de los estudiantes, y le pide a la Cámara que restaure las salvaguardas constitucionales del borrador original. [9][10]
El partido enmarca la lucha como parte de una campaña más amplia: pertenece al Frente de Organizaciones Contra las Políticas Migratorias de Trump, y sus legisladores municipales han presentado ordenanzas de protección a migrantes en seis municipios de Puerto Rico. [11][12] El debate llega ahora a un sistema escolar que ya ha cerrado 265 escuelas públicas. [13]
