US Border Patrol agents barred from Washington schools over concerns they could traumatize immigrant children
Fox News ^ | March 8, 2024 | Sarah Rumpf-Whitten

Chief Patrol Agent Lloyd Easterling called the decision 'unfortunate' and 'disheartening'

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott says the Biden administration's border policies have 'unilaterally destroyed' the country on 'Special Report.'

The school district in Spokane, Washington voted unanimously to ban U.S. Border Patrol agents from entering schools, saying that it could be traumatizing for immigrant students.

The movement to bar U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) personnel from the classrooms came after members of Latinos En Spokane, an advocacy group that supports the Latino community, said that immigrants seeing Border Patrol agents in their school could be traumatizing.

"They could be targeted as immigrants, because they have an accent, or if they’re asked something about their parents, you know, that could be a stressful situation," Jennyfer Mesa, executive director of Latinos In Spokane, told the Spokane Review.

"These fears, these stressors create post-traumatic stress disorder in students and families who have had the experience, whether it’s a family separation or concerns about another member of the family."

This is where we are now, illegal aliens have taken power (Latinos En Spokane) and are now ruling over the citizens.

Notice they do not even bother speaking English.

Woe to be a black poverty pimp complaining about how bad and racist the USA is. You have seen nothing yet, once those Spanish drug cartels take over. Take your reparations and shove it. /spit

About ten years ago, I was working at DCAA, and had a two week training session in Atlanta. A buddy (Hispanic) and me went to a coin op laundromat early on a Sunday morning.

I was being eyed cautiously by the other customers, all Hispanic. My friend comes over to me and laughs, "they think you're Migra."

“US Border Patrol agents barred from Washington schools”

“The movement to bar U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) personnel from the classrooms”

Note how the story moves from “schools” to “classrooms”. This is INTENTIONAL on the part of the Western Media, as it’s meant to evoke a negative emotional response, as most Americans (sadly) still view classrooms as ‘sacred spaces’ where only the teachers and the students should be.

I am willing to bet my house that the US Border Patrol has NEVER entered an active classroom, but yes, when necessary the likely do go to the front office of school to find the kids of parents who have been locked up by them...which kind of makes sense to me.

If the very sight of border patrol agents is traumatizing to children, then your children are either freaking snowflakes or they know they are here illegally.

As you drive by the rows of illegal immigrants outside Home Depot, yell, “La Migra!”

We drive to,Spokane several times per month. Graffiti has EXPLODED all over Spokane in the past five years. There was very little five years ago. Now it looks like Los Angeles with signs, buildings, freeway overpasses, sound walls, statues, public art , city bridges, all covered.

It is sickening.

What’s happened in the past five years to have caused this?

Good luck with that, snowflakes!

Enjoy your increased crime rates and don’t come begging to USBP, or, ANYONE to come help.

I live in Spokane. In the last election the fools on South Hill elected a Democrat mayor. Things will get worse.

This sounds like one of those nutjob sovereign citizen things.. which DemonRatz and LibTaints oppose.

If I was the head of the Border Patrol I’d run about 2 dozen agents, armed to the teeth and done up in SWAT gear with dogs through the school system and check everyone, from the Principal to the Janitor for citizenship.

--- "...the Biden administration's border policies have 'unilaterally destroyed' the country...."

Absolutely. For me, this is a definition of traitorous acts by this administration against our laws and the Constitution itself.

What a load of utter nonsense. If you are part of a group of lawbreakers, you SHOULD be apprehensive about encounters with the law. I have no issue with illegals of any age being stressed when they see a border agent.

That said, the way a large percentage of law officers act towards the public is problematic, creating stress among the populace they purport and vow to serve. The aggressive and confrontational actions of these officers besmirch those who do serve with honor, creating the schism between the citizens who are paying for the supposedly citizen-staffed police forces.

I’m really worried about that. I absolutely do fear the City Council in CdA is asleep at the switch and not prepared for it to move eastward.

I’m starting to see little bits of gang graffiti here and there around Hayden (7 miles north of CdA).

Correct spelling is “Coeur d’Alene.” Interesting history of the name, too.

From the Coeur d’Alene Tribe: The original name of the Coeur d’Alene Tribe was Schitsu’umsh, meaning “Those who were found here” or “The discovered people”. This has been our name since time immemorial. Before U.S. expansion into the area, the Schitsu’umsh would trade with French fur traders, who referred to the Schitsu’umsh as Coeur d’Alene’s, meaning “Heart of the Awl”. This too is our name and was received due to the sharp and disciplined trading practices of the Schitsu’umsh people.

Alexander Henry (known as “The Younger”) was a fur trader who worked for the North West Company. Along with British explorer David Thompson, Henry traded and traveled in the region between 1810 and 1814. In his journal, Henry wrote about the Coeur d’Alene people and their way of life. “The Skeetshue [Skitsuish] or Pointed Hearts [Coeur d’Alene] Indians dwell further southward, about Skeetshue [Coeur d’Alene] Lake and [Spokane] River; they are a distinct nation, and have a different language [Salish] from the Flat Heads. They are very numerous, and have a vast number of horses, as their country is open and admits of breeding them in great abundance.”
