"In Chicago on Wednesday morning, the first children had just arrived at the Rayito de Sol early learning center, and staff members were getting ready for the day. Suddenly, agents from United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), some wearing balaclavas pulled over their faces, stormed in and arrested one of the teachers. A father who had come to drop off his child captured the scene on video:"
"The video, which has been shared on various social networks and picked up by various US media outlets, has sparked nationwide outrage. Local Chicago politician Matt Martin told the US broadcaster NBC that it was "some of the most chilling video footage I have seen certainly in my time in office. We had agents with guns who were walking around the facility with teachers inside, with children inside.""
In Chicago, ICE agents wearing balaclavas entered the Rayito de Sol early learning center during morning drop-off and arrested a teacher while children were present. A father recorded two agents dragging the screaming woman from the building as she insisted she had valid papers. A DHS spokeswoman said agents had "attempted to conduct a targeted traffic stop of this female illegal alien from Colombia." The video sparked widespread outrage. Local politician Matt Martin called the footage chilling and noted armed agents moved through the facility with teachers and children inside. Since September, DHS reports more than 3,000 arrests amid a tightened immigration crackdown.
