ICE Conducts Unauthorized Wellness Checks at Ohio Schools As students returned to Ohio classrooms after summer break, they faced a disturbing reality: Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents had been conducting unauthorized wellness checks on high school students in the state.
These visits, ostensibly aimed at ensuring students' "wellness" and "safety," were intimidation tactics that left many students feeling anxious, fearful, and traumatized.
What are ICE's Wellness Checks, and How Do They Work? ICE's wellness checks are shrouded in secrecy, with the agency refusing to provide clear guidelines on their methodology.
