A nurse at a Long Island elementary school was reassigned after reportedly wearing a jacket with “ICE” written on the back during “Superhero Day,” which upset parents and school officials.

The individual, a nurse at Northwest Elementary School in Amityville, was reported to have worn the controversial jacket on school grounds, leading the district to start an investigation.

The Amityville Union Free School District acknowledged the situation, stating there was a complaint regarding a staff member who had an acronym on their attire, seen as potentially offensive or unsuitable in the educational environment by some in the community.

“Upon learning of the situation, the staff member was immediately reassigned to a non-school setting pending a full review.”

School officials added that its “top priority is to ensure that our schools remain safe, inclusive, and welcoming spaces for all students and families.”

The district did not reveal what acronym was on the nurse’s clothing, but the president of the Amityville Teachers’ Association, Nakia Wolfe, confirmed that it spelled out “ICE,” Newsday reported.

Wolfe confirmed that the employee was a nurse at Northwest Elementary School and that the incident occurred on the same day as a moving-up ceremony for its kindergartners, but declined to provide the employee’s name.

However, Wolfe condemned the nurse’s alleged behavior and said it has no place within the school.

“Why would you come into a setting of learning to make any type of political stance like that?” he said.

“It’s just completely inappropriate.”

A teacher at the elementary school, Hilda Brown, also shared that the nurse wore the jacket with the “ICE” letters while the school was hosting “Superhero Day,” where students come to class dressed as their favorite superheroes, according to Newsday.

Parents picking up their kids from school the same day of the alleged incident told News 12 Long Island that they are appalled by the claims.

“That’s utterly disgusting. This is the world we’re living in now?” Marquise Gordon told the outlet.

“People are already fearful as it is. There’s no right in that,” Jackie Sauls said.

The Post reached out to the Amityville Union Free School District for comment.

Tension across the US has been rising over the past week amid the violent anti-ICE riots that have taken hold of Los Angeles and have been trickling into other major cities across the country.

In New York City, the NYPD arrested 86 demonstrators at a rowdy anti-ICE rally in Lower Manhattan on Tuesday.

On Long Island, a noticeable uptick in ICE activity across Nassau and Suffolk County has also begun.

ICE agents placed multiple people in custody in Glen Cove — about 30 miles outside New York City — on Wednesday morning near a train station parking lot, Glen Cove police Det. Lt. John Nagle told News 12 Long Island.

A spokesperson with ICE told the outlet that “ICE New York City is actively investigating immigration crimes throughout the five boroughs, Long Island, and the lower Hudson Valley.”

Agents have also been spotted in Bellport and as far out as Riverhead.

Small anti-ICE protests have already started springing up across Long Island in response since Sunday, including in Bellport and New Cassel.
