NYC preparing school bus staff for possible ICE encounters

New York’s Staten Island. According to a document acquired by the Advance/SILive.com, the New York City Department of Education is getting its school bus crews ready for any encounters with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement authorities.

The Department of Education and Project Open Arms are trying to establish a protocol that bus crews can adhere to in the event that non-law enforcement officials, like ICE, approach them, according to a message that was distributed to bus dispatchers from the Office of Pupil Transportation last week.
