FEAR IN THE AGE OF STATE TERRORISM

The CMSC calls upon public policymakers at all levels of government, to respond
to the State-terrorism targeted and inflicted by the Federal Government's hateful
policies and anti-immigrant rhetoric.

This trauma is affecting all segments of the immigrant population but in particular
the youngest in our community.

Thus, we call upon school districts and academics to immediately

address this crisis , and to develop plans and policies to respond
through mental health interventions for immigrant students and
parents.
