On a Friday morning, John H. Hamline Elementary in Chicago denied entry to two federal agents, assuming they were from ICE. This decision was made to protect students in a predominantly Latino neighborhood, following their training. The agents were actually from the Secret Service, investigating a threat against a protected individual related to the TikTok ban. Despite their efforts to approach a nearby home and then the school, they were not allowed to speak with any students or staff, showcasing the school's commitment to safety and caution amid increasing immigration enforcement concerns.
When two men bearing federal badges showed up at the entrance of a Chicago public school, the school employees rightly refused them entry, believing they were ICE agents.
The Secret Service agents were not allowed to speak to students or staff because school officials mistook them for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.
