Lancaster ISD employee accused of threatening student with deportation no longer an employee

A high school staffer accused of threatening a student with deportation is no longer an employee of the Lancaster school district, but officials have refused to release many details.

A 14-year-old told his parents that a district employee told him President Donald Trump was working on laws to deport the teen and showed the student a coin with the word "ICE" written on it, according to a report by KTVT-TV (Channel 11).

"He told him, 'Even though you are a citizen, Trump is working on a law where he can deport you, too, because of your mom's status,'" the teen's mother told KTVT in an interview where the family was not named.

The staffer at the Barack & Michelle Obama Ninth Grade Campus was put on leave Wednesday for potential misconduct. On Thursday, Lancaster officials said that the district's investigation had been completed and that the employee in question was no longer with the district.
