Texas school district probes teacher's alleged ICE comment online

The Fort Worth Independent School District in Texas says it is investigating a substitute teacher who allegedly said on social media that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) needs to come to North Side High School because it has “many students who don’t even speak English.”

The school said the teacher will not be allowed on campus until the probe is complete.  

“We are aware of a recent social media post referencing North Side High School, which was allegedly made by a substitute teacher and has caused concern among our Fort Worth ISD community,” the statement reads.  

The alleged post was made on X in a response to ICE’s account on the platform on Jan. 23, NBC 5 reported.  

“Y’all should come to Fort Worth, TX to Northside High School. I have many students who don’t even speak English, and they are in 10th-11th grade. They have to communicate through their iPhone translator with me. The @USEDGOV should totally overhaul our school system in Texas,” the post reportedly said.  

The name of the substitute teacher has not been released.  

“We are committed to maintaining a positive and supportive environment for all students. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we address this matter,” the district’s statement said.  

President Trump has sought to significantly ramp up immigration enforcement in his first days in office, and last week, the Department of Homeland Security rescinded a policy that previously barred ICE from entering schools.  

Schools are able to deny ICE entry into their buildings unless the federal agents have a warrant.
