Yes. When they try to get a green card or work on citizenship they will meet with ICE.  And ICE has been expediting appointments

Why?
I'm trying to get a picture of what's the norm. Are the ones with school the standouts, or the opposite.

My impression of DDF (and I may be mistaken on this) is that it's open to all but there are basic standards, and open discussion of halachic violations are not tolerated.

My personal curiosity.

There's something interesting about this scenario. The schools who don't usually give off (like no winter vacation) seem to have given off here, and some with winter vacation did not give off. I've discussed this with some people over Shabbos and I want more intel. Again, just for my personal curiosity, and to follow up on some conversations I had over Shabbos.

Why should they give off tomorrow? Growing up OOT, I remember having school on Shushan Purim every year, although we started a little late (9:30).

If they're off Shushan Purim on a typical year why wouldn't they be off today? Rabbeim expect a certain amount of off days. They're also missing days off for Pesach
