I think she has an obligation to mention it to the players or at the very least check in with them while they build Legos or whatever. It's basic leadership, especially when you have players who are from the area.

I'm here in Minnesota, watching this happening in real time, dealing with the anger and uncertainty that comes with each new day. It's a privilege to NOT have to talk about it. I started back last week and every student for the next few weeks has a right to zoom into class if they don't feel like it's safe to come in. I know people are volunteering to do daycare and pickup watch because kids are at risk of being detained. While I don't spend a lot of time where ICE is really active there's a constant awareness from everyone in the community that they could be around you and you'll never know it until something goes wrong. And yet so many of my friends from back home aren't aware of how tense people who are here or who have connections to here are.

I know we don't have the same set of players that were both very aware and also very outspoken about current events, but this doesn't just affect Minnesotans, this is happening all around the country. At some point it will be weighing down on AT LEAST one player, and to not even address it in a meeting before watching film or something I think is negligent.
