CPS officials initially said agents who identified themselves as ICE arrived at Hamline Elementary School in Back of the Yards Friday, but it was actually Secret Service agents looking for an 11-year-old who posted an anti-Trump video, a CPS source said.

2. OMG! An 11 yo???

I'm sorry, but there is a better way to deal with this......

This could have been a "lesson learned", but now it's a PR mess for both the SS and DHS.

3. An Eleven Year Old?

And, that video better have been one hell of a lot worse than "anti-".

5. Wait what??? I get that they have to track down as many threats as possible, but at the point you realize this

is an 11 year old, who is currently at his elementary school, why not contact the parents? Why are they going to the school?
Did he post it from a school computer?

9. TikTok, heh...

A spokesperson for the Secret Service said the agency "was investigating a threat to one of our protectees in reference to the recent TikTok ban."

"On Friday special agents from the United States Secret Service Chicago Field Office were investigating a threat made against a government official we protect," Anthony Guglielmi told NBC Chicago. "In the course of their investigation, agents first visited a residence in a local neighborhood and then made a visit to Hamline Elementary School. Agents identified themselves to the school principal and provided business cards with their contact information. The agents left without incident."
