Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have been carrying out violent arrests outside public schools, despite the agency's acting director, Todd Lyons, stating that such operations would only be carried out under special circumstances or in urgent situations. Affected parents and guardians, as well as teachers and school administrators, have been quick to raise their voices in protest.
