Agents had been circling the school since December, seemingly learning its routines, and they arrested some parents just before the winter break. But this time, agents leapt out in riot gear and began entering the apartments just across from the school, where many students live. βWe had to lock down and keep the kids inside, and parents linked arms to block the school entrance,β Bauer said. βWe had a student who was looking out the window and saw them break into his apartment and just sobbed, βThatβs my house. Thatβs my home.β And we shut the blinds, but it was too late.β
The terror that ICE and CBP have inflicted on the children of the Twin Cities is, by itself, a crime of scandalous proportions that will forever stain this country's moral fabric, and all those responsible should never know another day of peace. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...
