Bandera County Sheriff Josh Teitge has issued a public clarification following online rumors that suggested Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents had removed students from a Bandera Independent School District (BISD) campus earlier this week.
In an official statement, Sheriff Teitge confirmed that no students were detained or removed by federal authorities. The confusion stemmed from a routine visit conducted by U.S. Border Patrol agents, who were on campus to participate in a walkthrough — an activity coordinated with and supported by school administration.
“This was not an enforcement action. Border Patrol agents were simply familiarizing themselves with the school’s layout and procedures in the event of a future emergency,” said Sheriff Teitge. “There was absolutely no involvement from ICE, and no student was approached or questioned.”
