Another day, another hoax.
Chicago Public Schools (CPS) falsely claimed that ICE agents visited a South Side school on Friday to smear the Trump Administration as it carried out immigration raids in Chicago this week.
It wasn’t ICE. Secret Service agents were investigating a threat at the school.
Illinois Governor JB Pritzker (D) spread the lie that ICE agents raided an elementary school in Chicago on Friday.
“After a week of Republicans sowing fear and chaos, the first reports of raids in Chicago are at an elementary school,” Pritzker said.
“Targeting children and separating families is cruel and un-American,” he said.

The Chicago Tribune spread the hoax as well.
ICE showed up at 11:15 a.m.
This immigration action appears to be the first at a Chicago school after President Donald Trump took office.
“It makes me so sad,” said Eva Chávez, a 37-year-old who lives in the neighborhood and came out after she heard about it. https://t.co/X6DVz7yL3T pic.twitter.com/PT5OIPMgdK

Of course, this was a lie.
Pritzker, Chicago Public Schools and the fake news media knew ICE agents never raided a Chicago elementary school but they still haven’t deleted their tweets.
Chicago Public Schools falsely claimed they blocked ICE officers from entering a school today. The narrative took off – but apparently nobody bothered to check with DHS or ICE, which both denied the claim that ICE was at/near a school.
Turns out – it was Secret Service agents. pic.twitter.com/shZX9857rE

Secret Service was investigating a threat and responded to a house.
From the local article:
“Secret Service said they were investigating a threat, and responded to a house. They said they were then told the person they wanted to talk to was at Hamline Elementary School, but they did not enter the school, the Secret Service told the I-Team.”
