In a recent incident at Hamline Elementary School in the Back of the Yards neighborhood of Chicago, federal agents attempted to enter the school, sparking fears among staff and students that they were from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). However, Chicago Public Schools (CPS) officials later clarified that the agents were actually from the Secret Service. Despite initial reports suggesting the presence of ICE agents, school staff successfully denied access to the agents. This event has raised concerns within the community regarding immigration enforcement in schools, prompting CPS to reiterate its commitment to providing a safe environment for students and families. The state education board has also issued guidance to schools in response to such incidents, reinforcing protections for immigrant students amidst ongoing national immigration policy discussions.
