SEATTLE - Several Seattle schools were placed on lockdown Tuesday afternoon after the district received unconfirmed reports of ICE activity in the area.
What we know:
Seattle Public Schools said the shelter-in-place was activated at six separate campuses, including Mercer International Middle School, Aki Kurose Middle School, Cleveland STEM High School, Maple Elementary, Dearborn Park Intern.
The ICE activity was reported by community members, according to Seattle Public Schools, though no ICE presence was ever observed. It remains unknown if immigration agents were conducting any business in the surrounding area.

The time has come to close the public schools. They do way more harm than good.
The teachers aborted all the babies that would be in their classes.
They need illegal babies to keep their gravy train rolling.
The time is long past. Education is far too important to let government continue doing it badly.
I agree.
Correct.
“Enough false alarms about ICE could possibly discourage violently rampaging loony liberals”
+100!
MS-13 activity would be fine. ICE? Shut down all!
This is almost as good as when the ICE guys are being followed by the loonies and the agents, using info from the license plates, lead the loons to their own homes.
It would be a shame if schools, community centers, or government offices received similar calls.
Is that where the Democrats are hiding their illegal alien slaves?
Heard in an area full of illegals in Seattle:
“Look at those beautiful Cascades covered in snow!”
“Covered in what?”
Shouted: “ICE!”
“The ICE activity was reported by community members,”
Remember... we can all report fake ICE sightings at....

It would be a shame if people like me were to not take this seriously and send “legal observers” on wild chases. Home Depot. Mosques. I never thought about doing it at schools.... Hmm.
Unlike 9-1-1, I doubt that false reports to "iceinmyarea.org" are illegal. Go for it. Big-time. Mosques, yes. But specify only an address, don't mention that it happens to be a mosque. Let it be a surprise. Invite CNN...
