Arizona schools chief calms parents’ fears on idea of ICE school raids

PHOENIX (AZFamily) —There is confusion and concern among Valley school communities following the announcement that migrants here illegally could now be arrested in schools.

snip~
Tom Horne (Superintend of Public Instruction) interprets this move from the president as ICE now being able to arrest migrants if they were to try and run and hide in a school.

“They’re going after criminals and if they go after people who aren’t criminals it will be the parents, not the children. It doesn’t make any sense to go into a school and arrest children. They are not going to do that.”

From a legal standpoint, Horne said there isn’t much they can do when it comes to the federal government on certain issues.

At the end Horne makes it clear he agrees with the felon's stand on immigration.

So I guess the kids can just go home after school and fend for themselves.
