The arrest of an illegal migrant who was dropping students at school in Chicago earlier this week sparked local fury and a rally, but Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have since revealed the suspect is a violent gang member with a long rap sheet.
Francisco Andrade-Berrera, 37, a Mexican citizen, was picked by ICE on Wednesday near a Southside Chicago school, leading to activists and local leaders holding a rally condemning the move. Video obtained by Fox News shows two agents handcuffing Andrade-Berrera near the school.
In response to the arrest, two nearby schools activated "Community Wellness Protocols" and notified parents that additional social work support would be available to help students cope with the "stressful and upsetting" nature of the event.
During the rally, which took place outside the Chicago Public Schools, Chicago alderman Byron Sigcho Lopez asked: "When parents are being grabbed from our schools, we must ask, what is Chicago Public Schools doing to protect our children?"
Hilario Dominguez of the Chicago Teachers Union also blasted the detention and launched a tirade against President Donald Trump.
"His children watched as their daddy was put in handcuffs by agents carrying out the orders of a tyrant president," Dominguez said.
But the outbursts erupted before the full facts of the case came through, with ICE telling Fox News that Andrade-Berrera is a member of a violent street gang with criminal convictions for drug trafficking, gang loitering and damage to property.
He has been removed from the U.S. twice, in 2005 and 2013. He has at least four children, according to prior reports.

Isn’t there a board game called “Jump To Conclusions”? Looks like those people played it - and lost every time.
Protestors paid by Soros or USAID no doubt.
“His children watched as their daddy was put in handcuffs by agents carrying out the orders of a tyrant president,” Dominguez said.
Awww...I guess kids of citizen criminals never see their daddies get arrested.
Morons.
At least four children … all on welfare, presumably.
Yeah, the family shouldn’t be separated. Deport the whole lot of them.
knowing your father is a hurdle...
“”Community Wellness Protocols””
More liberal insanity.
Community: “He’s a good dad. He just wants a better life here for his family.”
ICE: “He’s a member of a violent street gang with criminal convictions for drug trafficking, gang loitering and damage to property. He was deported twice.”
Community: “Uhhhhh....”
We need to give them all the boot. Tell them to get their asses in line and apply for citizenship. That’s the way CIVILIZED PEOPLE do it.
This Hilario “breakfast taco” is a real hoot. If Trump is a tyrant, what is the bass turd still doing here. Mexico now has a WOC president. Time for all the crybabies to go home and take their avocados and Corona beer cans with them.
