Tensions ran high at Tuesday's Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools board meeting as dozens of community members voiced fierce opposition to the district's policies regarding Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents on school campuses, just days before the start of the new school year.
The emotionally charged meeting grew so contentious that security escorted one woman from the room during the public comment period, where nearly a dozen speakers expressed concerns about student safety and the district's cooperation with federal immigration authorities.
