A teacher in Texas invited Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to his school as many of his students "don't speak English."
The Immigration and Customs Enforcement posted on X the information regarding 538 arrests made, and 373 detainers lodged on January 23.
In the comment section, the teacher with username 'HookEm232' mentioned that his school has students that don't speak in English, and that ICE should make a visit.
Fort Worth Independent School District officials carried an investigation into the matter after his comment, as reported by New York Post.
He is said to be a substitute teacher at Fort Worth Independent School.
"Yall should come to Fort Worth, TX to Northside High School. I have many students who don't even speak English, and they are in 10th-11th grade. They have to communicate through their iPhone translator with me," the comment read, as shared by the publication.
Roxanne Martinez, the school board president said that they are taking this situation "very seriously and are committed to resolve it," the publication reported.
As per the report, the school has two thirds of students who are Hispanic, one in three who is learning English as a second language.
The publication also put out a picture of a statement from the district, that said, "As per district protocol, the employee will not be on campus during the investigation."
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump issued a series of executive orders after returning to the White House intended to deter illegal immigration and position the US to deport millions of immigrants without legal status.
He said the moves are necessary after millions of immigrants entered the US under Biden, both crossing illegally and through Biden's legal entry programs.
