This morning students told us ts theyre tired of the media spotlight and parents want want change at a higher level. El its a great community. Great school.

Reporter also, montgomerytgm county superintendent maryland Montgomery Countyouy School Superintendent jack smita and Montgomery County policent l also clarified that the 14yearold victim and the two t older teens were not in classess together with each other, butut smith did say that the situatioi does exist in the schools wheree students as old as 20 years oldd could be in classes and interacting in activities withsh students as young as 13 or 14. 4. Smith also said that the countye is reviewing all of its securitt procedures and policies, also,o, looking at the policies regarding student placement andt promised they would have moree m concrete details to put out in t the coming days. Ngay live in rock alnwick fox5 local news. Ns thank you very much, melanien time right now 9 05. Even the president and his h top officials have their eyes os this story. Sto. Fox5 political reporter ronica c cleary raised the issue att yesterdays white house pressoue briefing asking press secretaryy sean spicer about the supreme se court ruling which prohibits phi schools from denying access to Public Education based onn immigration status. Sta take a look at this. S the president recognizes that education is a state run and ana local run issue but i think ithi is cause for concern what happened there and i think the city shouldhe lreook at its pols and i think that this isis something that authorities will have to look at. That ave tlook t i hear you about it being a g state issue. Lets talk about something thatt the president has implemente introduced voice. Intionce victims immigration crime enforcement is that t enough . No. To support no, no, its one orpiece mucm the president understands thatdh victimse why he brought it in there tohet help them when theyreny specifically targeted or victims of a crime by people heree illegally but i think part of pr the reason that the president has made illegal immigration and crack down such big deal becausc of tragedies like this. S. Ronica joins us live in theiv loft with more g te o see you ts morning. Some have made the point this ts could have been any studentha involved in this because of the way the school securitvey w bn s up it may not have been someonem who was illegal who committedtt the crime. Ri maybe it would have been a completely different response te the story. Rent the st in this case it was. Ory. His thats what got the white houses attention. Attenti if you look back to theack te campaign trail one of the things the president did when he wasenw campaigning bring up these cases and examples of now in his examples on the trail he talkedh about people who had been killee by undo you meaned immigrants. But if he cares about victims of immigration crime you would think that this would be on his radar and of concern to him it m seems completely reasonable to bring it up in the press pre briefing. Would there be reaction . Is r there any sort of change andng prio he didnt skip a beat sean s spicer he knew exactly what youw were talking about granted hhaeh a local person. Local on. Sure. S now in a National Roll but you might have been hair tendone by his response. Its interesting someone said to me half the people in that room probably live in montgomer county in. And it is a story that takes on a National Conversation but he was very emotional when he spoke about it, and he said that weha have to first remember the humam side of this because there is a 14yearold girl here who victim of atrocious crime. Who will never be the same. Le yes. Es. Absolutely Montgomery County school reevaluating how tmoheyo security within the schools. N th do you think theyre going tohi look at how they allow immigrants students into thedent schools now . Hool well, you know, that isou really the kind of the crux ofhc the question that i asked thei d press secretary because it goese back to the Supreme Court rulinn from the 80 that is says schools can cannot diss crem 988 against immigrant status. T immi. The superintendent doesnt knowt the immigration statuens ofde tt student. The point of the question is,t would the president consiofder t putting forth, you know a newnon ex would address this now the press secretary didnt really i dont want to say play ball he didnt get to answer ther th question. Questi he depressioned it put it toit i states rights when your talkini about Supreme Court decision it doesnt have to be a statess rights issue if the if the administration didnt want it td be. My concern here is thats that theres been a lot of talk one of my concerns with this wholehw thing its a horrific crime, theres been a lot of talk abouo interaction and the t superintendent said they wereene not in the same classroom thentt were just in the same school. Sure. Because 14yearolds whichs are who are freshmen interact with i dont care how old seniors are theyre in the samee building. They are. Theres no way you can c exclude freshmen from intactingc with older students. Er stunts. So i think thats a little lit sketchy to have that as main thi issue here but the other oth talking about the immigrationigi status, that doesnt make itt less to me it doesnt make ii more of a crime or less of aessa crime. Im because this person was here war illegally. Illly. Its still a horrific crime. I agree with you. It its a horrific crime no matterr who does it. That the administration makes ii that if they are here illegallyy f they are undo you meaned, anda a crime is committed theytted te shouldnt be here then lets atl least eliminate or stop crimes e in that, you know, sector if yo will and so thats where the t conversation is. Conversaon i but i mean certainly what your o saying is solutely true. S ab im a mother. Only two yearsy twyear old but you hear this story ando youll send your kid to school. The first headline that we werer under the impression of thesefhe boys were registered freshmen fh which is true you imagine are they in freshmen classesn cla together much thats horrifying. We since learned melanie waselie reporting thats not the case. But this story is so troublesomo and problematic for so manyo may reasons. The immigration really is one component of it. Mponent but when youre looking at the administration that we have inti the white house righton now, now theyre going to talk about abot this. Right. Ne of the one of the the concerns some people have. E kind of piggybacking on wisdomo thoughts here. The first and for most concernrn should be security in thee secuh schools. Regardless of who it is that is but as we know now, this isow, i something that we heard from thr governor of maryland getting onn board with this and melanie juse saying School District isicis willing to help providedvide governor with what he needs. Ne. But now that the white house hae spoken on this, now you haveou v people all over the countryou weighing in. You have the Rockville Rape hash tag out there. G t there. You have people who really arent into the weeds on knowine exactly what happened and thisat is where you fear that the story is going to take on life of its own which is far different fromm what may have actually happenede in that school. Hatch i think thats always a concern. Thats absolutely a concern. E but the fact is, this should bee a National Conversation. Ive had lot of reaction to the question from yesterday onay o twitter. R what are people saying to ou you. One person compared it to t compare the coverage of this t rape case, the national coveragc until that question came up ineu the briefing, to the nationaliol coverage we saw from the dukee lacrosse case and kind of kind comparing americans reaction to that, and so certainly night and day and know, your individual views on immigration or what shouldho happen, but this is a story thaa we should be talking about and a we should care about and steveus u knknow this. We all know this. Ts. Stories take on life of theirfee own. We can we are going to do got everything that we can here at a fox5 to make sure that life isti accurate and true. But people need to talk about at this and know. W i think its great what wereat doing. G. I agree we need to talk aboud it. I agree with you. I guess my point is, my fear is, that people far away from oc rockville, people who dontlle, watch us all thewh time and and realize how deep people here are digging into this story, areto, just going to hear a buzz, seez, something on the surface andnd then view this as something thaa perhaps it was not. N if that makes sense. Sen it certainly does. Ds it certainly does. Oe were doing our best to bringstg the at National Attention inntin positive way and in truthful way, and well just have to see what happenso. What hpens because weve been talkingee about this, and just like youik said, the big issue to me here h is if youre a parent and you a got kids going to school, your r fear is this were talking about going togog something as simple going to the bam room for student. Ba outside of that im like i dono know who does it. I could careless. Eles i dont want anybody to be aa victim of this. T thats the bottom line to me. M thats the headline is a rape in a school while someone is goingg to the bathroom. Athr between students. That is a headline to me. Im not saying they talk tk bound the other stuff. R st that to me is the headline. Ine. We thank you for asking theit question. Absolutely. Minimum if it forces schoolss from across the country to reevaluate theyre seive tee,ei their policies in regards tods when kids can go to the bathroom and how they get that. Geth hopefully the bomb tom line ises more security and safety. Absolutely. Maybe more bigger discussion about the Supreme Court rulinorr from the pot yeses accidents that need to change. Eed tong should schools know the immigration status of theirus of students. Uden. Thats more controversial tol ask but its not controversialer to suggest our students should r truly and fully be safe in safen school. Ol i dont want the safety ofty the students to get l oost in tt whole immigration point. Nt yes. Absolutely, steve. Absolu thank you ric thank you. Thank t a lot of questions for that forf squurese.
