Secret Service responded to Chicago school, agency says amid reports of ICE encounter

Despite earlier reports that ICE agents tried to enter a Chicago elementary school Friday, the agency says it wasn't them. So what exactly happened?

“… The U.S. Secret Service said the encounter was actually agents conducting a "protective intelligence investigation."

…
A spokesperson for the Secret Service said the agency "was investigating a threat to one of our protectees in reference to the recent TikTok ban."

"On Friday special agents from the United States Secret Service Chicago Field Office were investigating a threat made against a government official we protect," Anthony Guglielmi told NBC Chicago.

"In the course of their investigation, agents first visited a residence in a local neighborhood and then made a visit to Hamline Elementary School. Agents identified themselves to the school principal and provided business cards with their contact information. The agents left without incident." …”

That explanation sounds fishy as fuck. A protectee investigation related to TikTok ban led them to an elementary school that is 92% Hispanic?

I'd cut off my donations, but I already did that when they overruled the J School on hires.
 
Teaching students to follow the law, especially when it comes to border security and national security is a bad thing unless you are driven by emotion and your arrogance allows you to pick and choose which laws to follow. I'm glad that isn't the message UNC is sending.

I'm fine with legal immigration. We should have a robust immigration policy. That's different than obvious backdooring of the system.

The problem is that Stephen Miller seems to believe that the proper number of legal immigrants to the United States per year should be zero.

I'll never forget Miller proclaiming that "America is for Americans and Americans only!!" when MAGA was mainlining racism and xenophobia at Trump's MSG rally. That line really caught me off guard and I'm rarely surprised by anything the GQP does these days.

If you took out all the extracurricular, so to speak, about Hegseth, he would still be unqualified.

Trump wants a "disruptor," however. Americans do too, given they voted for Trump.

We'll certainly get a disruptor.

This is the part that just kills me. If he was the nicest guy, with the squeakiest clean reputation, he does not have the qualifications to do that job. It is mindboggling to me.
 
Saw an interview with Tammy Duckworth. Same thought process. Without the personal character issues, he’s still not remotely qualified. She voted for both of Trump’s nominations for Defense Secretary his first term because they were qualified for the position.
