FOX45 News is investigating a video that surfaced Thursday that appears to show a man being detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers at Commodore John Rodgers Elementary/Middle School.

We reached out to Baltimore City Public Schools for a comment on the incident. Sherry Christian, media and public relations manager with Baltimore City Public Schools, sent us this statement:

We are aware of a federal immigration enforcement action that occurred on campus of Commodore John Rodgers Elementary/Middle School this morning. The federal agents have since left, and the situation has concluded. While some members of the school community were significantly impacted, students and staff that were not involved remain safe, and the school will continue with scheduled activities today.

City Schools is working with local, state and federal agencies to learn more about what happened, but because this is an open investigation, there’s not more to share at this point.

FOX45 News has also reached out to the Department of Homeland Security, ICE, and the Baltimore Police Department for comment on the incident.

The video drew swift condemnation from some Maryland lawmakers, including Senate President Bill Ferguson.

Ferguson posted on X, saying, “nothing else matters if families don’t feel safe.”

This is a developing story. FOX45 News will provide updates as they become available.
