TX school staffer threatened U.S.-born teen with deportation for not calling him 'sir'
In Dallas County, Texas, a high school staffer reportedly threatened a 14-year-old Latino boy with deportation because he failed to call him “sir,” telling him that “even though you are a citizen, Trump is working on a law where he can deport you, too, because of your mom's status.”
His mom, who’s here legally but declined to identify herself out of fear of retaliation, said the Barack and Michelle Obama Ninth Grade Center staffer also showed the boy a coin emblazoned with, “Office of Intelligence” and “ICE.” When she went to the school to confront the staffer, he claimed he threatened the boy because he apparently felt disrespected because the boy responded with “yeah,” instead of “yes, sir,” to him.
The staffer has been placed on administrative leave as the school investigates. “Lancaster ISD does not support nor will we tolerate behavior that promotes division,” school officials said in a statement. “Our district takes pride in being an inclusive district that puts students first regardless of their background. It is our goal to ensure a quality education for all students and a safe learning environment."
