To be clear, ICE isn't TARGETING the school, the school just happens to be across the street (red marker here) from the ICE office that is being protested.

So as ICE uses munitions against the protest, the school is facing the side effects.
Headline makes it sound as though ICE is targeting the school due to migrant students or something and that is not the case (yet).
Also note: There are no kids in that school currently, first day of school for them is 9/2.
Suppressing protesters in a democracy with free speech is just as bad. So happy we finally Made America great again!
Why is ICE involved in handling this protest? I had no idea they were trained or authorized to do that.
Same deal with the protests at the federal building back in 2020... attacking a federal agency is a federal crime, not a local one. Local police don't have jurisdiction.
So... I am not trying to be clever here.... That makes ICE qualified to manage protesters?
Oh, god no, but when the protestors are attacking a federal building, that makes it a federal issue.
Frankly, we're probably better off with ICE trying to deal with it than the black bag program they rolled out last time:
