On May 11th, a United States Customs and Immigration Services (USCIS) agents attempted to inquire about a fourth grade student in a Queens elementary school. In keeping with the city’s policies, the agents were not allowed to enter the school nor interact with the student in any way. It is important to note that this was not Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as some outlets reported, but rather USCIS, which does the administrative work of the Department of Homeland Security concerning immigration. Schools are considered sensitive spaces that ICE is not permitted to enter.
