A spokesperson for Immigration and Customs Enforcement said a range of federal agencies conducted "enhanced targeted operations" in Chicago on Sunday "to enforce U.S. immigration law and preserve public safety.

The agents turned out to be unrelated to immigration, officials said hours later. They were from the Secret Service, investigating a threat.

Sources said the Secret Service was investigating an online threat that a Hamline student made against President Trump following the U.S. ban on TikTok.

Fearing federal agents asking to search a Chicago elementary school Friday morning were from Immigration and Customs Enforcement, school officials denied them entry. But it turned out they were US Secret Service agents pursuing an investigation.

Officials with Chicago Public Schools claimed U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were seen at Hamline Elementary School. The Secret Service said special agents were investigating a threat.

Chicago Public Schools prevented federal officers from from going into an elementary school on Chicago’s Southwest Side Friday and talking to students, according to school officials.

The Trump administration intensified efforts to crack down on illegal immigration, making U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) a central focus.

ICE, along with several other federal agencies, began what they called "enhanced targeted operations" on Sunday in Chicago.

After Chicago Public Schools (CPS) initially claimed that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents visited a South Side elementary school Friday morning, it was later confirmed that this was not the case.

The Secret Service confirmed its agents were turned away from a Southwest Side elementary school on Friday amid rumors that ICE agents had attempted to enter the school. The incident unfolded around 11:15 a.

Despite earlier reports that ICE agents tried to enter a Chicago elementary school Friday, the agency says it wasn't them. So what exactly happened?
