Minneapolis schools offering remote learning in wake of ICE shooting
https://thehill.com/homenews/education/5681684-minneapolis-schools-ice-shooting-renee-good/The Minneapolis school system announced Thursday it will offer remote learning for a month as tensions escalate in the city after a federal officer shot and killed a woman this week.
In an email update to the staff and parents obtained by The Associated Press, a school administrator said, “this meets a really important need for our students who are not able to come to school right now.”

The remote learning option was also announced after Border Patrol agents came on school grounds at Roosevelt High School in Minneapolis, and at least one teacher was arrested.
The DHS said the agents were chasing a suspect who sped dangerously through the school zone and stopped close to the building. When agents were around the area, the DHS said a violent crowd formed and control tactics such as pepper spray were needed.
