Three students attending Mountain View High School were ordered to leave the U.S. midway through the fall semester. School staff say it marks the first time in recent memory that any student had to leave the district because of involuntary deportation.
Daniella Quinones confirmed that three students enrolled in the district's English Language Development program have left the school after immigration court judges ruled they had to leave the country.
Despite serving some of the most affluent communities in the Bay Area, the Mountain View-Los Altos District is also home to high-needs students who have recently arrived in the country. The vast majority of the 50 students enrolled in remedial classes through the district's English language development (ELD) department are recent arrivals from Central America, many of whom are seeking asylum, Quinones said. It's a big change that has taken place in the district over the last five years.
"The types of services these students need are beyond academic support, they need mental health support, housing support, financial support," Quinones said. "These students are facing tremendous adversities in coming to this country."
For the most part, the students are from countries including Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras, with some hailing from Peru, Ecuador and Colombia, said Sarah Block, a longtime teacher and ELD instructor.
Many of those young clients are fleeing violence from their home countries in Mexico and Central America, she said, and recent changes in case law and federal immigration policies have made it increasingly difficult for them to remain in the U.S.
"There have been initiatives that the Trump administration has put in place in order to make the lives of unaccompanied minors more challenging, when it comes to trying to make sure that they are as safe and protected as possible," Murthy said.

Therefore, what?
This time they won’t be back in three days.
Yep, and if we can be of help let us know.
I’m sure the taxpaying citizens are in deep mourning over this.
Awwww....
Maybe they can rehash an old 90’s drama show to tell this story?
I feel sorry for the rest of the world, but we can’t and should’t support them.
And what do you get from Trump apart from winning?
“they need mental health support”
They’re sending us their crazy people and we should have to keep them? No thanks.
Asylum from central america. What was wrong with mexico?
Only 3? Fudge.
It’s a start...
Toodles, pipski!
Three is a small start, but it’s a start. I agree with you. Deport all illegals (including 5-plus million illegals in our schools). No exceptions. Imagine the resources that will free up for teaching American children, among other good things.
Then they should have stayed home.
“...they need academic support, mental health support, housing support, financial support...”
And the U.S. taxpayer is responsible for providing this why?
The average home in Mountain View runs about $2M now.
None of these people can afford to so much as buy a closet here.
Yet the schools are approaching majority “hispanic”.
So how are they living here?
With the $$$ that agitators like Quinones chisels out of the locals.
And getting rid of the squatters is always paltry numbers like these. When those numbers are in the thousands, which they should be, then the situation changes.
But it won’t, short of CWII.
It will give all the other little brats another excuse to walk out of school in protest. Three down, 13 million to go.
