Liam Ramos, 5, isn’t the only child in detention. Teachers and parents describe kids being hunted by federal agents.

School leaders are caught in the middle of this, trying to keep providing kids with a safe space to learn as their friends disappear and children cry about not knowing whether their parents will be home when they get off the bus.

Even Zena Stendvik, the superintendent of the Columbia Heights public school district, often patrols outside with parents and staff.

“I stopped wearing my high heels to work,” Stendvik told HuffPost. “I wear my boots to work, because I have had to run out onto a corner or into the back of the high school.”

      The problem of non-white people being in “their” country, I would guess. But I don’t care to dig too deeply into the psyche of these monsters.

    There are still over 1000 children from the First Family Separation Policy in Trump 1.0 that haven’t been reunited with their parents, and likely never will be. Where are they? Nobody knows, and nobody seems to be asking.

    MAGA is all psychopathic pedophiles, so the best guess is that the pretty ones have been sold to sex slavers, the compliant ones are house slaves, and the rest were sent on nature hikes in the Everglades.

    And that’s what’s going to happen to these kids, too.

    Surprised there isn’t at least one sharpshooter in the area that could pick off a couple of these people from a safe distance.

    The other day I there was a request for rapid response by my work. When I got there, several school buses were idling in the street, with parents lined up to meet them, for like 25 minutes. School policy is that kids stay on the bus until ICE has left the area.

    There was an SUV with 3 masked up agents just sitting there, heckling observers. They said, “If you guys would leave us alone, we could do our job.” I said, “Oh yeah? What’s your job?” and they said, “Catching the criminal illegal aliens and pedophile predators. Don’t you want us to protect the kids?” These smug fucks spend their weekday afternoons looming around bus stops, and if they miss a chance to snatch someone, they’ll settle for scaring little kids. The worst of the worst. There were about 50 parents, teachers and neighbors at the intersection by the time they gave up and left.

    They’re not winning the war, but they’re laying siege against our time, money and mental bandwidth. It’s exhausting.

      Catching the criminal illegal aliens and pedophile predators. Don’t you want us to protect the kids?

      There’s one in the white house, running ruining the country, but they’re obviously fine with it.

      I hate to say it, but it’s past time for armed militias to assemble and run these sick fucks out of there. They need to know that the people won’t fire the first shot but if one is fired, they and their dumbass buddies all die.

      “Catching the criminal illegal aliens and pedophile predators. Don’t you want us to protect the kids?”

      Oh. Ok. So, can you show me the signed warrants that you have that prove you have cause to circle schools? How many pedophile predators have you caught that are white citizens or do you only look for ones with a darker shade? Have you caught the one in the big White House yet? There have been a whole slew of files provided the public on that one!

        Have they looked in the mirror? Because they’re the strangers hanging around the school watching the children and thinking about taking them.

    They should be reported as potential shooters, send the school into a lockdown, call the fucking news, every parent, etc. The whole shabang. Because these are, at best, unauthorized adult strangers attempting to approach those students under your care.

      Seattle schools recently went under lockdown because ICE was spotted in the area. They’re treated like any other potential active shooter.

      It might vary by district. Some schools in Minnesota you can only enter by one door, unlocked by the front desk only. The front doors are bullet resistant glass.

      In the case of Law Enforcement presence, the school goes into silent lockdown. Then the district Legal Council is sent to verify the warrant.

      The attorney then has to verify with the signing judge, and then the individuals listed on he warrant will be brought to the entrance by the legal council (one at a time).

      In case it’s not obvious, that can take HOURS to do. On purpose.

      Probably all the Karens that were queening out over shutdowns/social distancing (because they were very much emotionally invested in “Trump’s economy” have the line go up so he could get re-elected) and squealing “my body, my choice” and being AntiVa and AntiMa all during Covid probably rushed to sign up.

      Remember all those Karen riots they had?

    Is it time for the left to embrace home schooling? We can’t have people legally required to come to a place where they are not safe. That’s unethical.

      Minneapolis Public Schools has been offering a remote option since Jan. 9th, and nearby districts have done the same or are discussing it. It’s safer but presents the same issues as the pandemic, i.e. strain on teachers and requiring a parent to be home with the kids.
