Immigration agents won’t be at D.C. schools on first day — but may be going forward, ICE director says

Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons assured that there will be no ICE presence in D.C. schools as classes resume, although he acknowledged that future circumstances might require ICE to intervene, particularly for welfare checks on unaccompanied minors. Concerns about ICE’s presence near schools have been raised nationally, with educators noting increased absenteeism linked to past ICE activities.
