    Just fucking imagine how that would go! I work in education and simply having a unfamiliar police officer in the school causes stress in the kids. Now you want to come inside and remove students. Bro this will end violently if it happens. Caring staff and students are not going to hand over a crying and confused child.

    They updated it, it was USSS, but still a good call. Police should not be in schools unless there’s a specific incident happening.

    Who the fuck are they going to deport from there? Teachers are all probably legal or have visas, and kids that young won’t have government id’s on them…

      They are fine with deporting kids who are citizens. Trump doesn’t even want them to be citizens if their parents aren’t despite being born here.

    Chicago Public Schools officials claim U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were denied entry to a South Side elementary school Friday morning.

    [Ital. added]

    Meanwhile, the most inane and unbelievable shit dribbles out of Trump administration officials mouths and journalists will be all “an official familiar with the matter confirmed to ABC” without the hint of a doubt

    e; This article has been updated with the feds’ new story, and the new headline is a great example of exactly what I was talking about

    US Secret Service approached South Side school, not ICE agents: officials

    You could say that’s what these “officials” claimed, but ABC sure won’t.

    At any rate, a couple of questions,

    Why were the local cops totally in the dark on this? If the secret service was investigating a death threat, what was the plan if their suspect wasn’t at home or at school? Just hang around Chicago until you spot them? And if you’re confronting a potentially dangerous person at a school, wouldn’t you really want to have a whole coordinated police action instead of just having one agent waltz in on their own?

    Did this agent identify themselves as secret service and tell the school why they were there? Because they should have but I don’t understand how the school would have thought they were ICE if they did, and I don’t believe this school would throw a press conference to lie about this when they had to know the federal government would respond to their press conference.

    Lastly, if ICE and the secret service were just lying through their teeth to ABC, how would we know? Alternatively, if they were telling the truth, how could we know? Because absent some kind of external proof statements from the Trump administration have zero informational value.

      Why exactly would the school officials lie? They aren’t even in the Trump administration.

      Edit: Never mind, I misunderstood the post. Sorry.

        No worries at all! Text communication is tricky at the best of times and I have absolutely no discipline when I write and have like fifteen thoughts per sentence, with at least four being hyperbole, two that are sarcastic, and one that’s a reference to a random playstation game I rented from blockbuster but forgot the name of, so, yeah, misunderstandings happen.

    This was not an incident involving ICE if anyone here would bother to read beyond the headline

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

    Secret Service said they were investigating a threat, and responded to a house. They said they were then told the person they wanted to talk to was at Hamline Elementary School, but they did not enter the school, the Secret Service told the I-Team.

    The threat the Secret Service was investigating was not immediately clear.

    CPS officials had claimed an ICE agent or agents were denied entry to the South Side elementary school Friday morning.

    ICE said this was not a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement encounter.

        Ok go that route I guess.

        We can either choose to make up crazy shit to get upset about and believe a headline that has already been corrected or be logical people looking for the real problems to direct our energy towards.

            You ever think that, with the current climate, they overreacted before having all of the information? Why are you choosing to not apply basic reasoning to the situation?

              If they overreacted, why haven’t they said so? Why are they maintaining what you claim is a lie? Because my “basic reasoning” is that there is zero advantage to them lying about this. Please explain why.

                You’re going to look silly when this ends up being the nothing burger it is. Outrage becomes worthless if you don’t choose to apply it properly.
