DOVER, Del. — A bill moving through Delaware’s legislature would stop school resource officers and constables from helping federal immigration agents unless the state attorney general gives permission. House Bill 93, recently approved by the House Judiciary Committee, aims to ease fears among students, especially those from Latin American backgrounds, who feel unsafe knowing school staff might cooperate with immigration enforcement. A local high school student said the bill could provide much-needed peace of mind for many classmates. Supporters say the legislation is part of a larger push to protect immigrant families and communities, although it still needs approval from the full legislature and the governor to become law. Critics argue school officials shouldn’t be involved in reporting student information to immigration authorities. The bill will soon be debated on the Delaware House floor.
