A member of the community writes a welcome back note for students on the first day of D.C. Public Schools outside an elementary in Washington, D.C., on Aug. 25, as a show of support as Immigration and Customs Enforcement and federal agent raids increase in the city. Neighbors, volunteers and parents clapped, blew whistles and shook tambourines as they accompanied children to school.
