Fort Worth Independent School District (ISD) officials launched an investigation after the alleged online remarks.
From the New York Post:
The teacher, who was not publicly identified but had the X username @Hookem232, called for agents to “come to Fort Worth, TX to Northside High School,” according to the Dallas Morning News.
“I have many students who don’t even speak English and they are in 10th-11th grade. They have to communicate through their iPhone translator with me. The [U.S. Department of Education] should totally overhaul our school system in Texas too,” the post added.
School Board President Roxanne Martinez sought to reassure parents about whether ICE was going to target the school district.
“Please be assured that we are taking this situation very seriously and are committed to resolving it as quickly as possible,” she said.
Two-thirds of Fort Worth public school students are Hispanic and more than one in three students is learning English as a second language.
Meanwhile, officials have not named the substitute teacher who made the post, but said the instructor will not be teaching while the posts are investigated.

Per Fort Worth Report:
In a statement to parents, interim Superintendent Karen Molinar assured the Fort Worth ISD community that schools will remain safe, inviting and respectful to all.
“We recognize that recent national changes in immigration policies may have left some families in our community feeling uncertain or concerned,” Molinar said. “We are here to support all of our students, families and staff.”
Molinar addressed several questions she has received from residents. She emphasized that the district does not request or seek the immigration status of students or their families. Student information is confidential under federal privacy laws.
If a parent or guardian is detained during school hours, the district will ensure the safety of students until an authorized adult can pick them up while complying with state and federal laws, Molinar said.
“We kindly ask that all of our families take this opportunity to update emergency contact information for your students at their school,” she said. “If your student has concerns about coming to school, please reach out to their campus principal or school counselor. Fort Worth ISD offers resources to support students who may need additional assistance.”
Arlington ISD issued a similar statement Jan. 24 to address community concerns about ICE appearing at schools. Arlington ISD spokesperson Anita Foster emphasized the district also does not collect immigration status. Student privacy is protected under federal law and resources are available on campuses.
