Two adults were arrested by ICE agents at a Maryland preschool graduation ceremony, drawing condemnation from top elected officials in the state.
Children were allegedly heard 'screaming' when the arrests took place on Thursday in the parking lot of Commodore John Rodgers Elementary School in Baltimore.
Video taken by a witness shows two agents holding a man down on the pavement as they tried to get his arms behind his back so they could cuff him, while the woman recording shouted, 'This is school property! It's against the law!'
Last month, the City of Baltimore signed an emergency bill prohibiting federal agents from operating and conducting arrests in 'sensitive locations like public schools.'
Another video taken by a witness from a different angle shows the agents taking a woman into custody after the man was arrested as parents and young children scurry by.
School officials told Maryland Senate President Bill Ferguson that the people who were arrested drove into the parking lot while being pursued by ICE agents.
In a video Ferguson posted to X, he said that the arrested individuals had their children in the backseat, who screamed as their parents were ripped from the car.
The state senator added that 'heroic educators' brought the children inside the school as the arrest took place, 'to try to protect them from these unbelievable and out-of-control federal agents.' The agents quickly left after taking the parents into custody.

Sounds like ICE agents were attempting to pull over the vehicle before it got to the school and it fled into the school in an attempt to escape. Does ICE need to stop pursuit if the people they are pursuing enter school grounds? Like a safe area in a game of tag?
Pre school graduation...? FFS.
I am all for it. No matter where they go, harass them and make their lives absolute hell on earth till they get the message that we don’t want them here and they must go...
Pre-school, grade school, jr high...
All have...graduations...in our neck of the woods.
Many of the...ahem...grads can’t read, write, or do math, but participation trophies all around.
Where do they come up with this crap? Are there people who actually believe that being on school grounds provides some sort of sanctuary?
I suppose black thugs have to get graduation photo when they are killed committing felony.
