ICE agents turned away from Chicago elementary school: Officials claim
Chicago Public Schools' Chief Education Officer Bogdana Chkoumbova claimed ICE agents showed up at Hamline Elementary School Friday morning, but were denied entry.
"We will not allow ICE agents access to CPS facilities, unless they produce a criminal judicial warrant signed by a federal judge," she said.
The Hamline Elementary School principal said ICE agents arrived at the Back of the Yards school about 11:15 a.m., according to WLS.
The principal said they followed protocols, and did not allow the agents inside.
All students and staff are safe, officials said.
"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.
