Unauthorized ICE 'wellness checks' by police at Ohio schools draw outrage [View all]
They're going after school kids now?
It was at this school, where nearly three-fourths of the student body is Latino, and two other nearby schools that on 15 April, Tonina Lamanna, a 17-year-veteran police officer in Gratis, Ohio, and a police department colleague whose jurisdiction lies 50 miles away, attempted to question school administrators about children attending the facilities on behalf of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) so-called “wellness checks”.
The law enforcement officers were not received well.
At all three locations, the officers, whose sidearms were visible to school staff at the time and who neglected to tell administrators they were working on behalf of ICE, were denied access to children they sought after failing to produce warrants or papers.
