School staffer allegedly threatens student with deportation
Lancaster, Texas – The parents of a 14-year-old Hispanic student at the Lancaster Independent School District's Obama 9th Grade Center are furious after, they say, a staffer threatened the teen with deportation. He is a U.S. citizen, reports CBS Dallas.
"You're basically scaring him," his mother told the station. "Now, he thinks I'm going to get deported. Now, he thinks he might get deported."
"I was very upset," she said. "I was very humiliated. I felt embarrassed for him."
Lancaster ISD placed the employee on administrative leave. School officials are investigating.
It began when the student came to school without a belt and was put in in-school suspension. That's where the staffer interacted with the teen.
"He told him, 'Even though you are a citizen, Trump is working on a law where he can deport you, too, because of your mom's status,"' the teen's mother said.
Although she says she's in the country legally, she didn't want to be identified, fearing retaliation, but when she visited the school looking for answers, she got the staffer to show her what he showed her son: a coin emblazoned with the word ICE.
