Students at Minneapolis Public Schools can return to in-person classes on Monday or take part in remote learning through Feb. 12, district officials announced Friday, after federal immigration officers were reported on school property earlier in the week.
Minneapolis Public Schools was closed Thursday and Friday and activities were canceled after a report of armed U.S. Border Patrol officers at Roosevelt High School in Minneapolis. The officers entered school property during Wednesday’s dismissal period, Minnesota Public Radio reported.
St. Paul district officials have not announced any plans to cancel classes or move to remote learning.
The officers tackled people, handcuffed two staff members and released chemical irritants on bystanders, an official from the Minneapolis school told MPR.
