Overview

  • A substitute teacher at North Side High School in Fort Worth, Texas, allegedly posted on social media asking ICE to raid the school, citing students who 'don't even speak English.'
  • The Fort Worth Independent School District (FWISD) is conducting a thorough investigation and has removed the teacher from campus during the process.
  • The post, made under the username @Hookem232, responded to an ICE enforcement update and criticized the school system, calling for an overhaul by the U.S. Department of Education.
  • The incident follows recent changes in federal immigration policies under President Donald Trump, including rescinding protections for 'sensitive locations' like schools.
  • District officials, including Interim Superintendent Karen Molinar and School Board President Roxanne Martinez, have assured families of their commitment to maintaining a supportive environment for all students.
