The U.S. Secret Service told the I-Team they approached a South Side school Friday. Chicago Public Schools officials had initially said the agents were from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

“CPS will continue to protect our students and their families in alignment with the Illinois TRUST Act and Chicago’s Welcoming City Ordinance,” one school official said.

Chicago Teachers Union President Stacy Davis Gates called the situation “unprecedented” at a news conference Friday afternoon.

    Nope. ICE it’s a byproduct of 9/11, and is racism and xenophobia wrapped in a burning flag of patriotism.

      It absolutely was created out of pure racism and xenophobia but you’re wrong if you think people haven’t joined it to try and make it better.

      I also agree it’d be wonderful if ICE simply didn’t exist. It’s mandate for existence is rotten to the core.

      That still doesn’t mean it is entirely composed of people who want to perpetuate that harm. The view you’re supporting is the same one that discourages people from getting into politics because politicians are all useless. There’s a system and it does harm - some people join the system to try and reduce the harm it does.

        That still doesn’t mean it is entirely composed of people who want to perpetuate that harm.

        The vanishingly small number who join for non-malicious reasons and either converted into racist bullies, or are driven out, just like honest cops in a department that’s corrupt or racist.
