JFC it hasn’t even been a week and shit is going down.
They knew what they were doing would not be allowed to happen, so they pretended to be ICE. In what world is that better?
“After our District officials shared public statements, we learned that the agents who visited the school were from the U.S. Secret Service,” the spokesperson said. “Two individuals showed up at the school door and presented identification that includes the name Department of Homeland Security, the federal agency that oversees ICE. School officials proceeded to respond to the agents with the understanding that they were from ICE, amid rumors and reports that the agency was in the community.”
It appears that the school officials assumed they were ICE. Everything else is awful about this but I’d ask that we be mad about the correct things. This does not appear to be a situation where the Secret Service attempted to mislead anybody. They didn’t identify which department of HS they were with, just that they were with HS.
The fact that the Secret Service showed up to a school to go after a teenager for paying a video is terrible, though.
Turns out it wasn’t ICE. It was Secret Service agents trying to find an 11-year-old that posted an anti-Trump video. Source
This is fascism, folx.
