US teacher invites ICE to raid his school for illegal immigrants ‘who can’t speak English’
A Texas substitute teacher has been suspended after he invited Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers to raid his school because his students “don’t even speak English.”
The teacher, known on X as @Hookem232, called for agents to “come to Fort Worth, TX to Northside High School. I have many students who don’t even speak English and they are in 10th-11th grade. 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 post added.
The alleged post was made on X, formerly known as Twitter, under an ICE post on Jan. 23 regarding an update on their immigration operations.
Fort Worth Independent School District has responded to the post, saying that the teacher would not be in school for the period of the investigation as per their protocol.
“We are aware of a recent social media post referencing North Side High School which was allegedly made by a substitute teacher and has caused concern among our Fort Worth ISD community,” said the district in a statement.
“We take this matter very seriously and are conducting a thorough investigation to understand the circumstances and ensure appropriate actions are taken. As per district protocol, the employee will not be on campus during the investigation.
We are committed to maintaining a positive and supportive environment for all students. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we address this matter.”
