Fearing federal agents asking to search a Chicago elementary school Friday morning were from Immigration and Customs Enforcement, school officials denied them entry. But it turned out they were US Secret Service agents pursuing an investigation.

Officials with Chicago Public Schools claimed U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were seen at Hamline Elementary School. The Secret Service said special agents were investigating a threat.

The Secret Service confirmed its agents were turned away from a Southwest Side elementary school on Friday amid rumors that ICE agents had attempted to enter the school, according to a report. The incident unfolded around 11:15 a.

After Chicago Public Schools (CPS) initially claimed that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents visited a South Side elementary school Friday morning, it was later confirmed that this was not the case.

Chicago Public Schools officials said in a press conference Friday that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents showed up at an elementary school in the city but were denied entry.  But

The Trump administration intensified efforts to crack down on illegal immigration, making U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) a central focus.

The U.S. Secret Service says their agents came to the school to investigate a threat, not to enforce immigration laws. Their arrival spread fear in a community on high alert.

ICE, along with several other federal agencies, began what they called "enhanced targeted operations" on Sunday in Chicago.

School officials said ICE agents tried to enter Hamline Elementary Friday morning, spurring panic. The Secret Service later claimed responsibility.

Despite earlier reports that ICE agents tried to enter a Chicago elementary school Friday, the agency says it wasn't them. So what exactly happened?
