🚨BREAKING: ICE agents were operating right next to a SCHOOL BUS STOP, during morning pickup in Lindenwold, New Jersey.

Children were standing waiting for the bus when federal agents flooded an apartment complex.

Kids started running in fear, and as they ran, an SUV followed.

Let that sink in…

Elementary school kids, backpacks on, running from armed agents while a vehicle follows them through their own neighborhood.

We keep being told these operations are about “public safety.” There is nothing about sending dozens of children into a panic before school that makes anyone safer. There is nothing normal about federal agents patrolling bus stops and apartment complexes like this.

And we’re supposed to believe this is protecting children?

At the same time the country is re-examining how often predators operate in positions of power, how often abuse hides behind wealth, connections, and authority, we are normalizing masked agents and unmarked SUVs hovering around school pickup points. We are normalizing fear as part of a child’s morning routine.

You cannot claim to be fighting trafficking while creating chaos around school bus stops. You cannot claim to be pro-child while conducting aggressive operations in spaces where kids are supposed to feel safe.
