Teachers Scrambled After ICE Released Tear Gas Outside a Chicago Elementary School

CHICAGO, ILLINOIS - OCTOBER 14: Residents and protesters clash with federal agents in the East Side neighborhood after tear gas was detonated on October 14, 2025 in Chicago, Illinois. It was not immediately clear why federal agents were in the area but people on social media reported Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrested an individual and caused a car accident. Last week a Federal judge put in place a temporary order preventing the 500 National Guard troops that were sent to the Chicago and surrounding suburbs to help protect ICE and other federal agents and federal property.

Chicago teachers said they’re dealing with traumatized students in underfunded schools — while the Trump administration spends millions to militarize American cities.
