Officials at public schools in the Democratic Governor JB Pritzker and Chicago claimed that the US Immigration Customs Executive Organization (ICE) agent arrived in elementary school last week.
ICE stated that the agent has never arrived at the Hamline Elementary School behind the Chicago Yard district, and the US secret service stopped on Friday to investigate threats to an indefinite government official. Was a statement that is an agent. Chicago's public school later cited a “misunderstanding,” but confirmed that the school system would not be coordinated with the Federal Immigrant.
In front of the local news camera on Friday, Bogdana Jung -Bova, the highest education manager of Chicago Public School, “Appeared” on the hamline that morning, but “School staff has been established CPS. I followed the protocol. “
“They left the ice agent outside the school, contacted the CPS Legal Department and the security of the CPS, and sought further guidance,” said CHKOUMBOVA. “The ice agent is not allowed to enter school, and it was not permitted to talk to students or staff. This is the bottom line: Our students and staff are safe … I am. We do not adjust with immigration customs execution agents.
According to a video issued by WMAQ-TV, Hamline's principal Natasha Ortega said, “We don't open the door for ice.” We are solidarity behind the family and yards. ”
The governor rang in X.
“One week after the Republican members who sowed fear and chaos, the first report of the attack in Chicago is in elementary school,” Pritzker wrote on Friday and shared the CHALKBEAT.ORG report. “It is cruel and non -American to target children and separate their families.”
This post was handed in a community notes, saying, “This was not ice, but a secret service in the United States to visit school for an unspecified threat.”
Fox News Digital contacted the PRITZKER team on Monday for comments, but did not respond immediately because no update was posted on the governor's X account.
Mayor of Chicago, Brandon Johnson, published his statement in X, fixed the record, and accused officials who have amplified unretable claims.
“Chicago is always a welcome city, we always maintain the welcome cities, and we always protect students and all residents in our cities,” said the Democratic Party member Johnson. I am writing. “Today, a secret service agent, not ice, was present at John H. Hamline Elementary School. People in the city are worried about strengthening immigration, but individuals have not been afraid throughout the city. It is essential not to spread the verification information.
Pedro Martinez, the highest executive officer of Chicago Public School, first repeatedly filed a suspicious claim on Friday. When he appeared on MSNBC, he said that “individual” came to hamline and said, “I presented a qualification and shared that they were from ice.”
“Our staff has followed the protocol. We are very clear,” said Martinez. “We have trained the principal, security guards, and front office staff. We have confirmed that they know that they do not share information with the Immigration Bureau or ice. Unless you have an order, they are not allowed to enter the building. “
Ice said it was not involved in the encounter. In a statement acquired by Fox News Digital, Anthony Guglielmi, the Communication Officer of the US Secret Service, has a special agent in the Chicago Field Office on Friday, “investigating the threat of government -related governments.” I revealed that.
“In the process of their investigation, the agent first visited a local residence and then visited Hamline Elementary School,” said Grielmi. “The agent has identified himself School principal We provided contact information to business cards. The agent left safely. Secret services investigate all threats to the people we protect. We do not investigate or execute immigration laws. “
Officials at Chicago Public School returned their previous claims on Saturday.
In a message addressed to his family, Martinez and Jung Bouva stated that “the agent has presented the school staff a qualification of the Ministry of Land Security, which is the federal division directed by the Immigrant Customs Executive Office (ICE).” I did it.
“Later, I learned that these officials were not from ICE, from the US Secret Service. We also supervise another federal law executive agency directed by the Ministry of Land and security.” I am. “The incident was misunderstood, but it reflects the fear and anxiety that is currently existing in our cities, reflecting the cautiousness of recent federal government changes. ”
School officials also accused the DHS decision last week and withdrawn the order that ICEs prevented immigrants in delicate places, such as churches, schools, and doctors' offices.
As part of the president's large -scale expulsion strategy, Tom Homan, the emperor of Trump, who covers the ice raids nationwide, has defended the reversal when appearing on Sunday ABC News. Homan stated that many MS-13 gang members were often around the age of 14, and well-trained ice agents should discrete to eliminate threats of public safety and national security.
“Earlier this week, the new presidential government has withdrawn the long -standing policies to protect the target of ICE for immigration, such as a school, as a result, the school manager is the school community. Martinez and Jung -Bova say on Saturday, “said Martinez and Jung -Bova on Saturday. “Despite the misunderstanding yesterday, the school's answer has been ready to keep students and staff in cooperation with community organizations and the Labor Party partners, and are ready. Masu.”
