The Secret Service is continuing to release information after Chicago school officials responded to what they thought was an ICE action Friday.

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.

Chicago Public Schools officials reportedly mistook Secret Service agents for ICE officers during a chaotic morning incident amid migrant crackdowns.

The immigration blitz was action long promised by President Donald Trump who made mass deportation central to his campaign.

Chicago Public Schools CEO Pedro Martinez said it was all a "misunderstanding" after U.S. Secret Service agents showed up at Hamline Elementary School and were mistaken as Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers.

The incident illustrates the climate of fear permeating the country as Trump readies ICE and other federal authorities to carry out his plan for mass deportations.

After Chicago Public Schools initially claimed ICE agents visited a Southwest Side elementary school Friday morning, it was later confirmed that this was not the case.

The incident comes amid a threatened Trump administration crackdown and sent ripples of fear through the K-8 school.
