Acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director Todd Lyons has acknowledged that federal immigration agents could enter school campuses under certain circumstances despite growing concern among educators, parents, and local officials.
In an interview with NBC News, Lyons said parents in Washington, D.C. should not expect ICE officers to appear at schools when classes resume this week. Still, he stressed that campuses are not off-limits and that officers may enter the premises if they are attempting to locate children who crossed the border as unaccompanied minors and whose last known address is tied to a school, or if an "exigent circumstance" arises.
