By rssfeeds-admin CHICAGO (WGN) — At a rally to save Acero Charter Schools slated for closure, families and community members voiced their anxieties after a parent was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Officials while they were taking their children to school Wednesday morning.
In a letter to parents, Acero officials confirmed “ICE and ATF agents detained an adult individual in their vehicle at roughly 8:15 am this morning. Agents did not attempt to nor were they permitted to enter either Soto High School or Idar Elementary.”
The two schools, located near 51st and St. Louis Avenue on the City’s Southwest Side, share the same campus.
The principals for the two schools said staff escorted two students from the car into the school and no one was hurt. They also assured parents Acero’s Community Wellness Protocols were implemented and they will continue to monitor the situation.
