52% : The mother, who is of Mexican heritage and whose family is here legally, said she found out about rumors of ICE agents around 11:30 a.m. from texts and from her grandmother who sometimes volunteers in the Chicago public school system.
47% : CHICAGO -- Chicago school leaders say immigration agents showed up to an elementary school today in what may be the first of such actions since the Trump administration this week reversed federal policy to now permit immigration enforcement inside schools, hospitals and churches.
45% : "The ICE agents said they were [Department of Homeland Security]," said Fanny Diego Alvarez, chief of family and community engagement for the district. ICE, which did not respond to a request for comment from The Washington Post, told other news outlets that "this was not an U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement encounter" and suggested asking local law enforcement about the episode.
44% : But Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is denying their agents were involved, spurring confusion about what transpired. ICE agents arrived at John H. Hamline Elementary on Friday morning, according to a letter the school's principal sent to families, which was reviewed by The Washington Post.
