Advocacy groups unsuccessfully demanded Saugus school administrators reverse a residency and census policy they claim disadvantages immigrants from making it into schools
The Lawyers for Civil Rights and Massachusetts Advocates for Children sent a letter to school administrators in Saugus, alleging that the requirement to fill out the town census and other "overly-stringent residency or proof-of-identity requirements" violate the state and federal constitution. Charles Creitz is a reporter for Fox News Digital.
The advocacy groups said the policy went into effect prior to the 2023-2024 school year and stipulated that pupils must be "legal residents whose actual residence is in Saugus" and that guardians must identify themselves with passports or other government photo IDs. He joined Fox News in 2013 as a writer and production assistant.
The policy had been implemented only days after Democrat Gov. Maura Healey instituted a state of emergency in response to the migrant influx. Charles covers media, politics and culture for Fox News Digital.
