'ICE detaining children': Minnesota educators decry federal agents tracking schools amid shootings

Minnesota public school officials are sounding the alarm as federal immigration agents from ICE increasingly target schools, following educators, and detaining children. Governor Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison joined school leaders to address the rising fear among students, parents, and staff. Recent incidents, including the detention of a 5-year-old, have raised serious concerns about the impact on children and families. Leaders are calling on ICE to stay away from schools, school buses, and bus stops, highlighting the urgent need to protect schools as safe spaces and to prevent further trauma in communities.
