Dr. Rusch was featured in The Guardian speaking about the impact of immigration enforcement on students and children
Dr. Rusch was interviewed to speak about the role of school settings and teachers in promoting resilience in the face of adversity.
One morning earlier this month, Melanie woke up to the news that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) had detained more than 40 migrant workers at a garment factory, as part of a series of raids across Los Angeles. Her high school, located downtown, is not too far away from where the arrests took place. She didn’t want to go to school – but still drove there to complete her final exams.
