School district says DHS agents, seeking five students in first through sixth grades, were barred from entering
Immigration officials attempted to enter two Los Angeles elementary schools this week, but were turned away by school administrators. The incident appears to be the Trump administration’s first attempt to enter the city’s public schools since amending regulations to allow immigration agents to enter “sensitive areas” such as schools.
At a Thursday press conference, the Los Angeles unified school district superintendent, Alberto Carvalho, confirmed that agents from the Department of Homeland Security were seeking five students in first through sixth grades.
Officials attempted to enter two south Los Angeles schools, Lillian Street elementary and Russell elementary, but were turned away after the schools’ principals asked to see their identification. Los Angeles Unified is a sanctuary district and does not cooperate with federal immigration agencies.
I am fortunate enough that my family don’t have to worry about being undocumented, but I still find it absolutely reprehensible what this administration is doing and I don’t want those kid kidnappers anywhere near my kid’s school or any school.
Using kids for attacking families of undocumented parents shows how truly evil the current administration is. It’s a Nazi level shit.
They’re sending off documented people as well. I would be careful.
Did you miss the current situation with the guy who was perfectly legally in the US but was still sent to an El Salvador? The administration is actively fighting court orders to get him back and many people believe that he’s already dead.
