ICE IMPERSONATION INVESTIGATION

IN SOUTHWEST OHIO, CINCINNATI PUBLIC SCHOOLS ARE INVESTIGATING AFTER SCHOOL OFFICES REPORTED WELLNESS CHECK VISITS FROM AN UNIDENTIFIED ALLEGED ICE OFFICIAL. 
PROTOCOL VERIFICATION AND DENIALS FROM THE US OFFICE OF IMMIGRATION AND CUSTOMS ENFORCEMENT, BETTER KNOWN AS ICE, PROMPTED THE OFFICE OF GENERAL COUNSEL OF CINCINNATI PUBLIC SCHOOLS TO LAUNCH AN INVESTIGATION. THE MAN IDENTIFIED HIMSELF AS AN OUT-OF-TOWN LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER WITH ICE, SENT TO DO WELNNESS CHECKS. HE ONLY VISITED SCHOOL OFFICES AND HAD NO INTERACTION WITH STUDENTS. THE DISTRICT SENT AN EMAIL TO ALL FAMILIES OF STUDENTS EXPLAINING THE SITUATION AND THEIR RESPONSE. LEGAL AND SAFETY PROTOCOLS WERE NOT FOLLOWED. NO ARRESTS HAVE BEEN MADE.
