Puerto Rico's Senate gave final approval to Senate Bill 1062 on November 5, 2026, by a vote of 20 in favor, 4 against, 1 abstention and 3 absences. ^[1][2] The measure, authored by Majority Senator Nitza Morán Trinidad, creates the Educational Equity Law for immigrant students and students with undefined migratory status. ^[3][4] Under the bill, immigration agents acting inside schools must present a signed judicial warrant, and schools may not demand Social Security numbers or immigration status as a condition of enrollment. ^[5][6] The bill also guarantees free public education for 5-to-21-year-olds in Puerto Rico regardless of migratory status. ^[7] The approved text still needs House approval and the governor's signature; the House gave it first reading and referred it to its Education committee on November 11, 2026. ^[8][9][10] The legislative push follows ICE raids in four San Juan neighborhoods, and former U.S. Education Secretary Miguel Cardona condemned the possibility of ICE entering schools. ^[11][12]
