GOP Education Official Says He Would Allow ICE Into Public Schools

Earlier this week, the Trump administration rolled back a policy that kept ICE agents from conducting raids in sensitive areas like schools, hospitals and churches.
Ryan Walters, the Oklahoma state superintendent of schools, on Thursday said he would not rule out letting Immigration and Customs Enforcement conduct operations in public schools.
“Schools haven’t been working with law enforcement on this,” he told a reporter from Tulsa’s ABC affiliate. “Well, look, in Oklahoma, we’re going to work with law enforcement. We’re going to work with the Trump administration.”
“So you’re not completely ruling out a raid on an Oklahoma school?” the reporter asked.
“No, if that’s what President Trump sees fit, as there’s an illegal immigrant population there that needs to have enforcement there to remove them from the schools, absolutely,” he said. “We will work with him to make sure he’s able to carry that out.”
