Illinois Rep. Darin LaHood is demanding an apology from Gov. JB Pritzker and the Illinois Education Association over claims made that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) targeted a Chicago school. LaHood called the accusations a “lie” and stated that the misinformation caused unnecessary fear and panic in the community.
The controversy began when the Illinois Education Association claimed that ICE officers were targeting students at a Chicago school. However, ICE officials denied these allegations, stating that they do not conduct enforcement operations at schools. LaHood criticized the Illinois Education Association for spreading false information and causing unnecessary alarm among students and their families.
LaHood stressed the need for accurate information and responsible communication when addressing sensitive issues such as immigration enforcement. He called on Gov. Pritzker and the Illinois Education Association to retract their statements and issue a public apology to ICE for the false accusations.
The incident highlights the importance of verifying information before spreading it, especially when it has the potential to cause fear and division within communities.
