Texas attorney general investigating student immigration protests
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) announced Monday he is investigating three school districts after students there participated in the nationwide walkouts against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Paxton’s office said the Dallas Independent School District, Manor Independent School District and North East Independent School District in San Antonio did not keep students safe and even facilitated the protests.
“I will not allow Texas schools to become breeding grounds for the radical Left’s open borders agenda,” Paxton, who is running for the Senate, said in the announcement. “Let this serve as a warning to any public school official or employee who unlawfully facilitates student participation in protests targeting our heroic law enforcement officers: my office will use every legal tool available to hold you accountable.”
The announcement comes after the state attorney general’s office warned schools it would punish and revoke the licenses of teachers it found encouraging ICE walkouts.
Paxton did not say why he believes teachers at these school districts helped organize the student walkouts.
“Manor ISD is aware of the Attorney General’s announcement regarding an investigation related to student walkouts that occurred on our campuses and is confident the review will show that staff followed district procedures and Texas Education Agency guidance, including maintaining neutrality, ensuring attendance guidelines were followed and keeping student safety as the top priority during the days the walkouts occurred,” the Manor Independent School District said in a statement.
The Hill has reached out to the other two districts for comment.
Student walkouts were held across the country after two anti-ICE protesters were shot and killed by federal agents last month.
