An immigrant support group is calling for "accountability" after photos emerged online of Mt. Blue Middle School principal James Black dressed as an ICE agent for Halloween.
Project Relief shared a photo on social media Sunday showing Black wearing an ICE baseball cap, a body armor vest emblazoned with the words "police" and "ICE," and a balaclava covering most of his face.
In a Facebook video pushing back on the criticism, Blacks' relatives confirmed he attended the family's private Halloween party dressed as an ICE agent, but said he did not wear the costume in public or to the middle school.
In a statement Monday, Mt. Blue Regional School district said it was "aware of a situation" involving a school employee, but would not be making any further public comment for the time being.
