A California Mini Corps tutor helps a migrant child at McKinley Elementary. The Trump administration said it would unfreeze funding for education programs. Migrant families relied on some of those funds, and some program leaders say damage has been done during the freeze and they\u2019ve had to shut down this summer (Photo courtesy of Butte County Office of Education).<\/p>\n

Victoria Gomez de la Torre doesn\u2019t know when \u2014 or if \u2014 the migrant children she serves are going to get the education help they\u2019ve come to rely on.<\/p>\n

Gomez de la Torre oversees the migrant education program for 12 central Florida counties. The federally funded service helps the children of migrant agricultural workers, who move within and between states based on planting and harvesting seasons.<\/p>\n

Her staff identifies agricultural workers who\u2019ve migrated to the area and helps them enroll their children in school. It also helps connect them with tutoring and medical care.<\/p>\n

Earlier this summer, the Trump administration froze<\/a> more than $6 billion in education funding, including money for migrant education, after-school programs, English-language programs for non-native speakers and other grants. Congress had already approved the money, but the administration said it wanted to conduct a review of the programs.<\/p>\n

The administration announced last Friday it would release<\/a> the remaining $5.5 billion of the money, after unfreezing $1.3 billion earlier this month.<\/p>\n

But for Gomez de la Torre\u2019s program, the damage had already been done: Without the money, it had to shut down this summer.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe didn\u2019t have enough money left over to carry the program,\u201d said Joram Rejouis, the director of program development for the public schools in Alachua County, which includes Gainesville and is the largest of the 12 counties. \u201cDefinitely, stopping the program caused damage.\u201d<\/p>\n

The program came to a complete halt when Gomez de la Torre\u2019s 11 staff members were offered other positions in the school district. Throughout July, about five dozen migrant children across the 12 counties were without summer services. The funds<\/a> were supposed to go out before the start of the month.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s going horrendously,\u201d said Gomez de la Torre. \u201cMigrant families depend on us, rely on our system and our help.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Alachua County program serves about 1,000 to 1,200 children of migrant workers throughout the year, many in rural farming communities. Each year, roughly 17,000 migrant children are served by programs across Florida.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a very valuable program for a very vulnerable population,\u201d Rejouis said. \u201cDefinitely, stopping the program caused damage, period \u2014 for the families, for the program and for the district.\u201d<\/p>\n

Migrant children are less likely to have regular primary care and are more likely<\/a> to face health conditions such as anemia and high blood pressure. Many migrant families who harvest food in the fields don\u2019t have enough food<\/a> themselves.<\/p>\n

The program also helps with communication and translation among parents, teachers and guidance counselors. \u201cWe were their go-to for whenever they needed something,\u201d Gomez de la Torre said. \u201cNow, they don\u2019t have us.\u201d<\/p>\n

The freeze in funds added to the uncertainty and fear created by the Trump administration\u2019s broader moves to target benefits for immigrants. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recently announced<\/a> it had added Head Start to the list of public programs that would be closed to immigrants who are here illegally. After the funding announcement earlier this month, a senior official said<\/a> the administration had established \u201cguardrails\u201d to ensure the funds are not used \u201cin violation of Executive Orders.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s anybody\u2019s guess when we\u2019ll come back,\u201d Gomez de la Torre said. \u201cIf we\u2019ll come back. If people who chose to retire will return, if their retirement can be rescinded. \u2026 Nobody knows exactly how it\u2019s going to play out.\u201d<\/p>\n

A similar story is unfolding in California.<\/p>\n

The statewide Mini Corps program, run by the Butte County Office of Education, north of Sacramento, connects migrant children at schools and labor camps with bilingual tutors who help them during the school day. Many of the tutors are former migrant children themselves, said Yvette Medina, who oversees the program.<\/p>\n

The funding freeze forced\u00a0the office to lay off around 400 workers statewide, according to\u00a0spokesperson Travis Souders. Despite Friday\u2019s announcement, the organization is waiting for official word \u2014 in writing \u2014 before reversing layoffs.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s going to be many students out there who are just going to have another disadvantage to the disadvantages that we already have,\u201d Medina said.<\/p>\n

In Santa Clara County, which includes San Jose, the program was forced to shut down altogether, according to Medina.<\/p>\n

Medina grew up in migrant labor camps, following her parents to the fields at 4 a.m. as they picked cherries and grapes before she went to school. Her parents worked throughout the Central Valley, back in Mexico and up and down the West Coast, all the way to Oregon.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is devastating,\u201d she said. \u201cIf it wasn\u2019t for the migrant program, I know for a fact there\u2019s no way I would have graduated high school.\u201d<\/p>\n

Migrant families already are gripped with fear as the Trump administration ramps up immigration raids and arrests, which President Donald Trump insists are focused on those with criminal histories.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are terrified,\u201d Gomez de la Torre said. \u201cWe had families stop sending kids to school and others who fled the country.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ruby Luis, a consultant who helps school districts across Florida identify and enroll migrant students in school, also was a migrant child. Her parents worked in orange groves, at strawberry and Christmas tree farms and produce-packing houses.<\/p>\n

Program tutors read books with her and gave her school supplies. The program took her on college tours and she enrolled via a scholarship for migrant children \u2014 a first-generation college student. She eventually graduated with a degree in biology.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust having even somebody to talk to you about going to college \u2014 because you don\u2019t have anybody to talk to about [that],\u201d she said. \u201cHaving that support was really impactful.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo take that away, and then now they just have to navigate it themselves, it creates these barriers,\u201d Luis said. \u201cAnd it can ultimately leave these children not having access to education.\u201d<\/p>\n
