CLASP Submits Report to the Illinois Accountability Commission on Best Practices for Handling Immigration Enforcement in the Early Child Care Setting
The purpose of the Illinois Accountability Commission (IAC) is to investigate, document, and disseminate findings and recommendations related to the conduct and impact of federal agents during “Operation Midway Blitz” throughout the Chicagoland area.
CLASP submitted a report to the IAC that uplifts findings from two interviews with Chicagoland area early care providers, highlights best practices to mitigate the harm of immigration enforcement, and offers federal and state policy solutions. Interviews in Illinois were a part of a larger 7-state project to understand how current immigration policies and practices are impacting immigrant families with young children (ages 0-5) and the community providers who serve them.
