CPS officials initially said agents who identified themselves as ICE arrived at Hamline Elementary in Back of the Yards Friday, but it was actually Secret Service agents looking for an 11-year-old who posted an anti-Trump video, a CPS source said.

"Federal agents arrived at the school as they were searching for an 11-year-old who posted an anti-Trump video, according to a CPS source. Agents had visited a home and were told the person was a student at Hamline, the source said.

The principal said school administrators followed protocols and did not allow the agents inside the school."

    While there is a federal department of education, public school systems are mostly beholden to state standards and policies. The outcome might have been quite different in a red state.
