Overview
- Videos and witness accounts show ICE agents detaining a man and a woman in the driveway of Commodore John Rodgers Elementary/Middle School during morning drop‑off and a pre‑K graduation on June 11, 2026.
- The Department of Homeland Security identified the man as Jesus Acevedo‑Sanchez and said he faces federal charges for resisting and impeding officers and destruction of government property while the woman faces assault charges.
- Baltimore City Public Schools says it did not coordinate with ICE and is questioning the agency’s characterization of events, and school staff quickly moved children to safety during the arrests.
- DHS says the two children who were in the vehicle were placed with an aunt after relatives were contacted, and city and state leaders including the mayor and governor have condemned the enforcement action and sought more information.
- The incident has focused attention on a policy gap because Maryland and Baltimore laws restrict enforcement at sensitive sites like schools but offer no clear mechanism to block or penalize federal agents, prompting calls for oversight and possible congressional inquiries.
