‘I’m worried ICE might come into our school,’ Oregon elementary student writes in letter read by U.S. Rep.

The young Hillsboro School District student vividly outlined her fears in a recent hand-written letter to U.S. Rep. Suzanne Bonamici, D-Oregon, who read the letter aloud on the House floor Tuesday morning.

“I feel scared and distracted in class sometimes because I’m worried ICE might come into our school,” the fourth grader wrote. “I worry what might happen to me if I refuse to answer their questions to protect my friends and classmates.”
