Minnesota educators rally to keep ICE off school campuses

Educators and families across Minnesota urged ICE to stay off school property, citing anxiety and safety concerns after agents were seen near campuses and incidents at Roosevelt High. Union leaders described detentions and pepper spray near schools, prompting calls for accountability and for protective networks (rides, groceries) for immigrant students. DHS said the Roosevelt incident used targeted crowd control and that no tear gas was deployed. Minneapolis Public Schools offered online learning through Feb. 12 as in-person classes resume, while communities organize support to keep students safe.
