MINNEAPOLIS: In a Minneapolis apartment, the curtains are drawn and a table with four computers and three children make a crude substitute for a classroom.
Esmeralda, Kevin and Carlos have stopped going to school — at least physically — in the weeks since US immigration agents surged into the Midwestern city.
“If I go out, it’s only outside in the hallway,” Kevin, 12, told AFP.
Like many immigrant children in Minneapolis, Kevin is taking his classes online — a practice schools thought they had left behind after the worst of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Online learning has once again become a necessity for some in the community as people remain indoors, seeking to avoid President Donald Trump’s mass deportation campaign.
