ICE Ups Their Scare Tactics by Targetting Elementary Schools

09:44 H | Topics: Children - Controversia - Education - Family - Immigration

Immigration and Customs Enforcement, better known as ICE, has upped it's scare tactics and now is resorting to terrorizing families by waiting outside elementary schools. Yesterday afternoon ICE agents parked outside Stonehurst Elementary School in Oakland, California. The agents did not attempt to enter the school but rather lay in wait, like hunters. No arrests have been reported.

There have been other cases of ICE targeting parents through their children. Remember the case of the girls who were deported for cutting school?

This is completely unacceptable. As a parent with a child in public school, I should not be afraid of taking my child to school or picking her up because of ICE agents menacingly parked outside. Personally I am trying to find out what the NYC Department of Education policy is regarding ICE. I urge people to do the same.

I do not remember this case but if those kids had all their credentials in order and had residency or visas this is certainly a terrible thing. If anyone lacks the proper credentials to be here they should expect to be detained and deported as I would expect to happen to me if I was in Mexico, France, Japan or Kenya without the proper authorization
