ICE snagged a teacher in Parker, here legally until 2029

https://www.9news.com/article/news/local/teacher-detained-by-ice-during-immigration-appointment-school-says/73-7cb594ba-808b-48f3-be82-28e1ecdfb701

A fifth grade teacher at a Parker charter school and her family were detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement and transferred to a facility in Texas, the school said.

Global Village Academy - Douglas County said in an email to families Monday that the teacher and her family were detained at the ICE office in Centennial on Friday "while she was completing a routine appointment related to her immigration case." They were transferred to a family immigration detention facility in Texas, the school said.

The school said the teacher and her family are in the United States with permission. A Global Village Academy Collaborative spokesperson said the teacher "has a valid employment authorization document, authorizing her lawful employment in the United States, with any U.S. employer through the spring of 2029."

The school completed the I-9 verification process and conducted a Colorado Bureau of Investigation background check on the teacher, as they do for all school employees, the spokesperson said. (not much more at link)

That if they sweep up legal immigrants they get deported anyway. Gotta meet those quotas.
