ICE denies it sent agents to Chicago school, Secret Service says it was investigating threat
A spokesperson for Immigration and Customs Enforcement denied allegations by Chicago's Chief Education Officer Bogdana Chkoumbova that agents showed up at an elementary school Friday morning.
"This was not an U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement encounter," the spokesperson said in a statement.
The U.S. Secret Service told WLS News that its agents were investigating a threat and went to a student's home.

That student wasn't home, so the agents went to the school, where they turned away by school officials, according to the Secret Service, which did not provide any more details. No Secret Service agents entered the school, according to the agency.
