The lockdown went into effect at A.N. Pritzker School, 2009 W. Schiller St. in Wicker Park, on Friday afternoon and remained in place for the rest of the school day.

According to school officials, ICE agents were seen in the neighborhood, and the lockdown was initiated "out of an abundance of caution."
