A community member, Dalia Caldwell, used the public comment period to ask the Dover Area School District to adopt a policy preventing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from entering district schools to detain children without a warrant.

Caldwell said that roughly 3,800 children are in ICE detention centers and alleged that at least 400 of those children are being detained "illegally" because of overstays or psychological issues; she also asserted some detained children are citizens or otherwise documented. She urged the board to "not welcome ICE to have a set up a policy that ICE does not come in without a warrant for a specific child."

The chair asked whether the comment was germane to district business; Caldwell said it was and offered to follow up by email. The board took no action and did not adopt a policy during the meeting.
