Fearing federal agents asking to search a Chicago elementary school Friday morning were from Immigration and Customs Enforcement, school officials denied them entry. But it turned out they were US Secret Service agents pursuing an investigation.

School officials said the agents were from US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which ICE denied.

“School staff followed CPS established protocols,” Chkoumbova said in a news conference Friday. “They kept ICE agents outside of the school and contacted CPS law department and CPS Office of Safety and Security for further guidance. The ICE agents were not allowed into the school and were not permitted to speak to any students or staff members.”

    Super important to note that this was apparently Secret Service, not ICE. Probably looking to talk to a kid who posted a threat against the president, rather than try to deport someone.
