Project Description

Summary:  View help for Summary With the recent escalation in interior immigration enforcement across the United States, immigrant and US-born children are increasingly exposed to coercive measures that have been shown to disrupt their development. This study examines the relationship between immigration-related arrests and the educational outcomes of  Hispanics—a group that is overwhelmingly targeted by immigration authorities. Using data on the number of ICE arrests at the MSA level, we estimate the impact of immigration enforcement on Hispanics' school enrollment. We find that increases in the arrest rate are accompanied by substantial declines in enrollment among Hispanic youth, including US-born, foreign-born, and individuals in mixed-status families. Additionally, we do not find evidence of this relationship among other racial/ethnic groups, suggesting that the impact is concentrated among Hispanic individuals. Our results advance our understanding of the unintended consequences of immigration enforcement on educational outcomes and show that ethnicity is a crucial factor in this process.
