Baltimore City Schools have publicly denied any involvement with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) following an incident at Commodore John Rodgers Elementary/Middle School.
Sherry Christian, a spokesperson for the school district, expressed concerns about how the events of Thursday were characterized, particularly regarding the arrest of two individuals by ICE agents on school grounds.
Maryland Governor Wes Moore described the situation as "deeply disturbing," emphasizing that such actions should not occur in the presence of children. His office is currently investigating the matter further.
Mayor Brandon Scott also weighed in, affirming the city's commitment to safeguarding immigrant communities. He acknowledged the heightened anxiety surrounding immigration enforcement and reiterated that Baltimore stands in solidarity with families affected by these detentions.
To provide support, Mayor Scott reminded residents of resources available through the Baltimore City Mayor's Office of Immigrant Affairs.
