Texas Probes Teacher Who Allegedly Called ICE on Their Own Students

An X user responded to an ICE tweet on Thursday telling agents to go to Forth Worth’s Northside High School.

A school district is investigating after posts were allegedly made by a Fort Worth teacher inviting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to a local high school. X user @Hookem232 responded to an ICE tweet on Thursday telling agents to go to Forth Worth’s Northside High School: “I have many students who don’t even speak English and they are in 10th-11th grade,” the account posted. “They have to communicate through their iPhone translator with me. The [U.S. Department of Education] should totally overhaul our school system in Texas too.” The school district’s board President, Roxanne Martinez, confirmed that they are looking into the viral post. “Please be assured that we are taking this situation very seriously,” she posted to Facebook, “and are committed to resolving it as quickly as possible.” The district also clarified that the individual, which they identified as a substitute teacher, will not be on campus while being investigated. “We are committed to maintaining a positive and supportive environment for all students. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we address this matter.” The controversial post came after President Donald Trump’s crackdown on migrants since his swearing in less than a week ago.
