Denver Public Schools is seeking a temporary restraining order to reinstate a federal policy prohibiting immigration enforcement actions at "sensitive" locations.

After taking office, President Trump rescinded a policy that instructed immigration agents to steer clear of sensitive locations like churches, schools and hospitals.

Denver Public Schools sued the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Wednesday in an effort to block federal immigration agents from making arrests at schools as the Trump administration ramps up mass deportations nationwide.

DPS said the legal action comes in response to a directive revoking long-standing policies regarding immigration enforcement.
