Seguin ISD clarifies district protocols should ICE arrive at local campuses
Superintendent sends letters to families over the weekend
Cindy Aguirre-Herrera
(Seguin) – The Seguin ISD is doing its part to make sure families understand how it hopes to respond should ICE execute a warrant at one of its campuses. Although it has been confirmed that no ICE agents have visited Seguin ISD campuses as of today, district officials say they felt it was important to offer clarity on protocols and procedures should a visit occur in the future.
Over the weekend, Seguin ISD Superintendent Veronica Vijil addressed Seguin ISD families of these protocols in a written statement.
The letter reads,
welcoming and inclusive learning environment for all students, staff, and community members. As a public school district in Texas, we are legally obligated to educate all students, regardless of their citizenship status, in a non-discriminatory manner.”
The letter also laid out relevant state and federal laws and local board policies – policies the district says outline clear procedures for interactions between campus personnel and law enforcement authorities.
A February FULL of LOVE
“Recently, the Department of Homeland Security announced a reversal of a policy that restricted arrests by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers in locations such as schools, hospitals, and places of worship. We understand that this announcement may have generated anxiety and uncertainty for some of our families.
Seguin ISD is dedicated to creating a
Dr. Vijil further stated that SISD will review and address all immigration-related requests from law enforcement on a case-bycase basis in compliance with applicable laws and collaboration with appropriate authorities.
She states, “this process includes communicating with parents or guardians. If ICE executes a warrant at one of our campuses, we will promptly alert parents to prevent misinformation.”

GRMC employees honored with prestigious ESGR Awards
(Seguin) -- Two GRMC supervisors are being prestigiously recognized as citizen warriors within their departments.
Both Suzanne Fey, executive director of the business office, and Mark Porter, director of material management, were the recipients of the Patriot Award. The award was extended to them by the ESGR, Employer Support of the National Guard and Reserve.
ESGR, is the lead U.S. Defense Department program which promotes the cooperation and understanding between civilian employers and their National Guard and Reserve employees.
Nominating Porter for the honor was Carlos Zepeda, a Staff Sergeant with the Airforce Reserves.
Not only does he say his boss is a true professional, but Zepeda appreciates his support every time he steps away on assignment.
“It feels very good. I think it’s important to recognize the people that are doing good things and the people that help you do good things, and Mike Porter has done a lot to help me fulfill my role as a service member and perform my duties,” said Zepeda.
As for Porter, he says receiving recognition and the nomination came as a surprise.
“It was very unexpected. I didn’t realize there was a program like this to begin with, but Carlos is certainly a great employee and sets a good example for other staff and I’m glad to be able to support him,” said Porter.
Like Porter, Fey was also recognized for her ability to manage her department while folks like Paola Pacheco, a Specialist E4 with the US Army National Guard are away serving the country.
In fact, Pacheco, who was supposed to be on hand Thursday for the award recognition ceremony ended up missing it after being called out for an assignment at the border.
Those with the ESGR say it’s these types of instant and unexpected changes in the workforce that give rise to such incredible managers and superiors.
Although she was unable to be at the meeting, Pacheco was able to send a written statement. Sharing that statement with the Seguin Daily News was GRMC’s Elizabeth McCown.
“Paola says ‘please tell Suzanne, she deserves this award more than anyone for her kindness, respect and care that she brings to our patients. Please thank her for all her support that she continues to provide me. She’s an incredible boss and I respect her a lot. I miss her and I can’t wait to go back to work for her after I’m done with this mission,” read McCown.
Fey says although it’s been a while since Pacheco has been in the office, knowing that she remains a part of her team is the best gift.
“It’s a huge honor. I was very shocked but pleasantly surprised by it. I loved working with Paola. I miss her. She’s been deployed now for two years. So, I am ready any day she comes back but she’s really the one and all the people in our military are much more deserving than I am for everything they do for our country,” said Fey.
On hand to present the awards was Major James Cunningham, a volunteer with ESGR. Cunningham says these prestigious awards remain rare and credits entities like Guadalupe Regional Medical Center for being an employer who does its part to also help serve the country.

WARNING: Detour Ahead
ICE, continued.
Meanwhile, the district is heavily advising families that they take a moment to double-check their contact information.
“If you need to update your email address, emergency contacts, or phone number, please log into your family portal or contact the campus registrar for assistance. SISD is committed to working with our families and staff members to maintain a safe environment for everyone in our schools,” stated Vijil.
Included in the letter sent out to all families was a host of available resources to help families navigate through these policy changes in immigration. The provided links and resources included:
A guide for schools by the National Education Association: https://www.nea.org/resource-library/ guidance-immigration-issues#safezone

Schools have historically been off limits for immigration enforcement. This again all changed when,
ESGR, continued.
“It’s something that is a matter of pride both for the service member and hopefully their bosses as well as the whole organization. It just gives the general public, I think, a better knowledge of what their service
If FM 78 between Huber Road and IH-10 is part of your daily commute, then you might want to consider an alternate route these next three days. Beginning today, Monday, Feb. 10 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. through Wednesday, Feb. 12, FM 78, between Huber Road and the westbound I-10 frontage road, will be closed for bridge work. TxDOT officials say this will be a daily lane closure, with all lanes expected to reopen by 4 p.m. each day.
almost as soon as he took office, President Trump got rid of the decades-old policy that, again, prevented agents from arresting migrants without legal status in sensitive places such as schools, hospitals and churches. Such news has since raised fear among those families who currently have children enrolled in the local district.
members are doing and how they are doing it and they’re devoting a lot of their off time when they could be at home to being say down at the border or being at Randolph or Fort Sam doing some duty there. It shows, I think, the resiliency of our forces and their commitment to upholding the
Constitution and making the military better,” said Cunningham.
Receiving the same recognition just last year was former Guadalupe County Sheriff Arnold Zwicke and Guadalupe County Sgt. Trisha Thomas. Both were recognized before the Guadalupe County Commissioners Court.

She spent some of her childhood in Japan as the daughter of a Marine, and attended college at Texas Women’s University, before settling in Seguin in 1964.

Michael Leslie Pace, age 81 of Seguin, passed away peacefully on February 4, 2025. A man of very strong faith for most of his adult life, Mike has gone home to be with the Lord.
Mike was born on August 7, 1943, in Beaumont, Texas to Vivian Loretta (Johnston) and James Royce Pace. He graduated from Texas City High School in 1961 and was a decorated athlete for his alma mater. Mike went on to Lamar College, before beginning his career in sales. Mike met his first wife Liz, and married in 1964. Two daughters and a son later, Mike moved his family to Seguin to follow a blossoming sales career.
Mike was a born salesman, as he was a natural at building relationships. He never met a stranger, and he truly loved being with people. Working for several companies throughout his career, Mike had a long and successful career, retiring in his 70’s.
Mike loved sports and everything that came with it. As an athlete, he excelled and had a competitive spirit. From his glory days on the Texas City High School gridiron, to countless hours of driveway pick-up basketball with his son. Mike enjoyed many years of competitive softball into his 40’s.
Mike was a devout Christian throughout his life, and spent most of that time serving the Episcopal Church. Mike dove headfirst into fellowship, participated in church committees, and even embarked on a mission trip to Honduras. Later in life, he continued his spiritual journey in the Baptist Church. His relationship with the Lord kept Mike strong through the toughest of times, and prepared him to face anything.
Mike was a devoted husband. Tragically widowed, more than once – he

She also leaves behind her church family and her beloved “Twisted Sisters” bible study group who always made sure she knew she was loved, by visiting when she could no longer attend church in person.
Linda was involved in leadership positions of many organizations through the years including Girl Scouts, Extension Homemakers, 4-H Club, Elks Lodge, Gideons, Red Hat Society, Trinity Baptist and the Country Church. She helped Ray with his business, Morrison Tree Service, for 48 years. After his death in 2013, she continued to own and operate it until 2021. She loved attending local events such as Yule Fest, Trade Days, and Pecan Fest. She enjoyed her work as a substitute teacher at Seguin High School for many years. She and Ray, along with 3 other couples (The Cockrells, The Bundicks, and The Muellers), were members of The Supper Club, meeting weekly for decades.
A celebration of life will be held at the Country Church in Marion, on February 15th at 11:00 a.m., with reception to follow.

Maternal Deaths Are Down With The Exception Of Black Patients
(Atlanta, GA) -- Maternal deaths are down in the U.S. with the exception of Black patients. That’s according to new CDC data. The report found that in 2023, 669 women died of maternal causes, compared to 817 who died in 2022. The maternal mortality rate across all races in the U.S. is now down to under 19 per 100-thousand live births, from over 22 in 2022. CDC officials said the rise in pregnancy-related deaths in Black patients wasn’t “statistically significant.” But data shows Black parents are still more likely to die from pregnancy-related issues.
New Strain Of Bird Flu
(San Francisco, CA) -- There’s a new strain of bird flu that’s infecting dairy cows. Infectious disease specialist Dr. Peter Chin Hong says there have been two cases in Nevada and that it merits closer monitoring. Over 950 bird flu cases in dairy cows have been confirmed since last year’s bird flu outbreak were all from the same virus strain. Nearly 70 people in the U.S., mostly farm workers, have contracted bird flu as the virus spreads among poultry and dairy herds.
Lung Cancer Rising Among People Who Have Never Smoked (London) -- Lung cancer is being diagnosed in more people who have never smoked. A study published this week in the Lancet Respiratory Medicine journal looked at lung cancer cases from around the world from 2022 and found it was the fifth largest cause of cancer deaths among lifelong nonsmokers. The researchers said the biggest contributing factor for those cases was air pollution, which could account for up to 70-percent. As of 2019, most of the world population lived in areas with air quality levels below standards set by the World Health Organization.
