Texas Girl's Death Highlights Concerns Over Bullying and Immigration Threats

An 11-year-old Texas student died by suicide after classmates allegedly bullied her with threats of deportation, raising questions about school accountability and immigration-related harassment.

Jocelynn Rojo Carranza, an 11-year-old from Gainesville, Texas, died by suicide on February 8 after enduring bullying related to her family's immigration status.
Classmates reportedly threatened to call immigration authorities (ICE) to deport her parents, telling her she would be left alone.
Jocelynn's family was unaware of the extent of the bullying, despite her meeting with school counselors multiple times a week.
The school district stated it has a zero-tolerance policy for bullying but declined to comment on specific details of Jocelynn's case, which remains under investigation.
Her death has prompted widespread grief and calls for improved measures to address bullying and protect vulnerable students in schools.
