American public school teachers are promising to fight Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents if they start going into schools.
President Donald Trump and his border czar, Tom Homan, are serious about the deportation and repatriation of illegal immigrants, which includes locating these individuals at places like schools, churches, and hospitals.
“Criminals will no longer be able to hide in America’s schools and churches to avoid arrest,” a DHS Spokesperson stated.
Another teacher, this time in Sumner, Washington, is threatening to “barricade” ICE.
This is becoming a trend among teachers/aides on TikTok.

The Migration Policy Institute estimates that 733,000 school-aged children are in the U.S. illegally. School districts across the country are reportedly preparing for the possibility that ICE agents will be arresting illegal immigrants outside of school at bus stops and pickup lines and even inside classrooms.

Predictably, after the news, teachers have taken to social media, promising to fight ICE agents attempting to deport their students. These teachers don’t mean to take the agents to court. They believe that if an ICE agent comes to their classroom door, they will physically overpower them and successfully prevent Homeland Security from doing their job.
This teacher says it’ll be a “frozen day in hell” before she lets ICE officers come into her classroom.

These teachers better become familiar with the U.S. criminal codes that make it illegal to harbor illegal immigrants from ICE. Title 8 U.S.C. § 1324 (iii) creates criminal penalties for any person who “knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that an alien has come to, entered, or remains in the United States in violation of law, conceals, harbors, or shields from detection, or attempts to conceal, harbor, or shield from detection, such alien in any place, including any building or any means of transportation.”
Homan warned before Trump’s inauguration that any official planning to resist these deportations would be crossing a line and subject to criminal penalties under Title 8.

Still, outside of breaking the law, in what reality do these mostly out-of-shape women believe that they will be able to go toe-to-toe with a federal agent?
One woman with pink hair and a sickly skin color posted a video calling her students “her babies,” adding that there was just no way she was stepping aside when ICE knocked on her classroom door. (ROOKE: The Nerds Are Unknowingly Creating Perfect Storm Targeting Americans)

Another woman with Crime Mob’s “Knuck If You Buck” playing in the background promises that if ICE comes to her school, she will go to jail.
“No, love, no. If ICE comes into my school, I am going to jail. Full stop. I’m going to jail,” she said. “‘Cause there ain’t no way you’re taking my students, my babies, my kids.”

All of these women seem completely fine with breaking the law by harboring illegal immigrations and preventing federal agents from doing their jobs, so we should treat them as criminals. It would be worth putting them in prison just for calling their students “my babies.”
When did it become acceptable for teachers to claim parental ownership of other people’s kids? And if these students were their actual children, why aren’t these teachers more worried that most of them can’t read or add? (ROOKE: Trump Pick Is The Perfect Person To Enact Anti-Deep State Blitzkrieg)
Angela Morabito reported Wednesday that 1 in 3 U.S. eighth graders “are functionally illiterate.”
“In Detroit, Cleveland, Fort Worth, Milwaukee, and Baltimore, less than half of 8th graders can read. In Philadelphia, it’s a coin toss,” Morabito wrote.

How long will American parents put up with the complete failure of our public education system? Modern teachers are more obsessed with stopping ICE than teaching basic phonics, grammar, and sentence structure. If we aren’t arresting them under Title 8, then let’s at least make the case for child neglect.
