Gratis Police Chief Tonina Lamanna, who was accompanied by Officer Jeff Baylor, visited three schools, claiming to be conducting wellness checks on behalf of ICE
CINCINNATI An Ohio officer has resigned after he and the departments chief were placed on leave over immigration wellness checks they tried to conduct at three Cincinnati schools, WLWT reported.
Gratis Police Officer Jeff Baylor and Chief Tonina Lamanna visited three schools, Western Hills University High School, Rees E. Price Academy and Roberts Academy, seeking access to campus. Cincinnati Public Schools alleged that Baylor and Lamanna arrived unannounced and said they were there to conduct wellness checks on behalf of ICE, WLWT reported.
The officers were turned away at each school and did not interact with any students, district officials stated.
Interim Gratis Police Department Manager Matt Jones told WLWT that the city council had received Baylors resignation but had not yet voted on it. Jones stated that the city of Gratis has suspended its 287(g) agreement with ICE indefinitely.
