U.S. Secret Service agents mistakenly identified as ICE visited Hamline Elementary School in Chicago while investigating a threat. The incident heightened fears among immigrant communities, occurring amid recent deportation policy announcements from the Trump administration. Chicago Public Schools initially communicated the misunderstanding, emphasizing that the agents presented IDs from the Department of Homeland Security. They were not allowed entry into the school. Local officials, including Mayor Johnson, confirmed the agents' role and reassured the community of their commitment to safety, urging against spreading unverified information.
