Chicago school board members are increasingly advocating for remote learning options as federal immigration agents conduct raids, causing heightened anxiety among students and families. Reports indicate that ICE has deployed tear gas near Chicago elementary schools, leading to panic among teachers and students. Despite the urgency from board members and educators to protect immigrant families, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker has hesitated to expand virtual learning in response to the ongoing immigration crackdown. Community outcry is mounting as the impact of these federal operations is felt across schools, prompting calls for a more supportive approach for affected students.
