Illegal Immigrant Attempts To Hide From ICE In Chicago Daycare

An illegal immigrant bolted into a daycare to shield herself from ICE agents in Chicago on Wednesday.

Federal agents were seen wrangling the Colombian woman, who appeared to yell and fight back after she reportedly ran from them.

The officers had tried to pull her over on the road, but the driver accompanying her refused to stop the car, according to the Department of Homeland Security. That led to a vehicle pursuit that ended in a shopping center, where the driver and the illegal immigrant target jumped out and ran inside the Rayito de Sol Spanish Immersion Early Learning Center.

ICE arrested her in the building’s vestibule, not inside the school, according to DHS.

Democratic Illinois Rep. Mike Quigley shared the shocking video, falsely accusing ICE of snatching “a preschool teacher without a warrant IN FRONT OF CHILDREN in my district.”

And DHS was quick to correct Quigley.

“Congressman, you are deliberately misrepresenting the facts,” the agency wrote on X.

“ICE law enforcement did NOT target a daycare and were only at this location because the female illegal alien fled inside,” they added.

The illegal immigrant, whose name has yet to be officially released, crossed the border in 2023, according to Fox News.. Her children were smuggled in just last month.

During her arrest, she tried to lie about her identity and denied that she knew the male driver in her car, saying she “just picked him up from a bus stop,” according to DHS.

Congressman, you are deliberately misrepresenting the facts.

The Trump administration previously reversed a policy that prevented ICE agents from entering schools or churches, but has maintained that “they don’t raid or target schools.”

Assistant Homeland Security Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in September that ICE “is not going to schools to make arrests of children,” rather that it wants to ensure “Criminals are no longer able to hide in America’s schools to avoid arrest.”

“The Trump Administration will not tie the hands of our brave law enforcement and instead trusts them to use common sense. If a dangerous illegal alien felon were to flee into a school, or a child sex offender is working as an employee, there may be a situation where an arrest is made to protect public safety. But this has not happened,” McLaughlin said at the time.
