- Democratic senators send letter demanding education department pressure DHS on school-area ICE enforcement — Eight Democratic senators sent a formal letter to Education Secretary Linda McMahon demanding she pressure DHS Secretary Kristi Noem to reinstate restrictions on federal immigration enforcement operations near schools. The letter cited multiple incidents of violent ICE enforcement near Chicago schools, including teargas deployment near a school during recess and the arrest of a 16-year-old U.S. citizen student. The senators argued that ICE enforcement near schools violates common-sense policing guidelines and poses direct threats to student safety and wellbeing.
