What exactly is going on here? They're evacuating little kids out of the emergency exit of a school bus because they believe ICE is closing in. The children would have been safer on the bus and going to school. We'd like to know more about this story, but this is all we have to go on.
Panic and chaos as parents rush to get their children off of a school bus as news spreads that ICE was raiding the Belhaven Estates in Charlotte, NC. ICE purposefully launched this kidnapping operation during a school bus drop off time for an elementary school (11/19/25) pic.twitter.com/plpXjImTbD

"Kidnapping operation." There's a reliable narrator.
The more I think about this video, the more I realize that it's more political performance art.

There was no need to open the back door, which is an emergency exit. The could exit out of the safe, front door.
This looks like a manufactured 'panic' play for social media clips.
I like how this totally not staged hysterical reaction uses the emergency door instead of the normal door as if the normal door was being monitored by ICE and they’re making an escape.

Nice touch. https://t.co/n3eKIbaLkN
I don't understand the panic, unless...

Why’re they panicking?

I see a lot of people who should self-deport before they are caught and lose all their stuff.

"kidnapping"

Are ICE agents at the front door of the bus and this totally fooled them? This is beyond ridiculous.

Is the bus on fire? 🔥

Otherwise, having the kids leave by the rear emergency exit is nothing but a ridiculous stunt.
Was the front door not working, or did the back door just provide a better photo op?

Was this every kid on the bus?
1. ICE isn't even there

2. this would just draw attention if they were there
Yeah, this looks like a really poorly thought-out stunt. We wonder whose idea it was?
