Today, my kids’ school contacted us via recording regarding the upheaval around immigration. They stated that ICE is only going after “criminal” cases and not blanketing schools. What worries me is that they stated that they will comply with ICE on warrants. WTF kind of criminal warrant could be charged against elementary or middle school kids? Is this happening all over Texas?

That’s bullshit. If you want to go after criminals, there’s a whole criminal justice system devoted to it. It’s cheaper and easier for the federal government, and the feds get to run the identities of anyone who goes into the system anyway, and then snatch them if there’s anything immigration-related they want them for. The only reasons to get ICE involved is if you want detailed control of the process, or you want it to go faster, or you want to grab people who have no other criminal issue. Currently, it’s all three, and every single one of those is a big problem for the safety of the people involved.
They are lying to you, maybe because ICE is lying to them. But they’re absolutely going to be grabbing people who haven’t done anything wrong (not that committing a misdemeanor means that ICE should have you, anyway). If they were concerned about crime or violence, they wouldn’t have just let 1500 criminals and violent criminals walk free.
Can I ask what city you’re in (or which part of Texas like East/West/Central if you don’t want to be specific)?
Fort Worth area
The fascist pig Tom Holman, that is currently Trump’s border czar was also Obama’s border czar. Who did have a history of locking up innocent immigrants with no records, Just went in and did clean sweeps of huge areas.
