Another day, another hoax.
Chicago Public Schools (CPS) falsely claimed that ICE agents visited a South Side school on Friday to smear the Trump Administration as it carried out immigration raids in Chicago this week.
It wasn’t ICE. Secret Service agents were investigating a threat at the school.
Illinois Governor JB Pritzker (D) spread the lie that ICE agents raided an elementary school in Chicago on Friday.
“After a week of Republicans sowing fear and chaos, the first reports of raids in Chicago are at an elementary school,” Pritzker said.
“Targeting children and separating families is cruel and un-American,” he said.
The Chicago Tribune spread the hoax as well.
