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.

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....
https://www.iceinmyarea.org/

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...

None of these trackers are government agencies. So report away. I have a burner phone and plenty of phony emails. Make sure to use a caller ID spoofer or a VPN to give the appearance of being a local.

I would never recommend any of that though. This is very serious and the insane lunatic commies harassing ICE are just protecting their “neighbors.”

Get one of those annoying whistles they blow and start blowing it randomly. That’s the bat signal for them to congregate.

Oh, I agree, I was being unserious and somewhat sarcastic. These days I am old and infirm enough that while I am an observer of the passing scene, but no longer take part in political or social activities. I leave that to the younger folks.

It would be a shame is someone old and infirmed were to use the tools of the commie American hating democrats, protector of child predator illegal aliens, against them in your spare time. I mean, I may have reported ICE sightings at a Home Depot and watched as a few cars circled the parking lot. Just terrible...

Keep it up; have the disruptors chasing down false ICE raids so they can't interfere with the real ones!
