A community member sent a video showing the moments Acero Schools said an adult was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers.

Two students were with the adult outside the Southwest Side school Wednesday morning, officials said. "It is really terrifying for families and traumatizing for students," one observer said.

Two months after parents and educators celebrated a Board of Education vote that spared seven Acero charter schools from closure for a year and promised to absorb five of them in 2026, Chicago Public Schools officials are now set to backtrack from that plan.
