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.
The superintendent told reporters that the immigration agents who arrived at the Los Angeles elementary schools said they wanted to see the “students to determine their well-being” as unaccompanied minors, and that they had received authorization to speak with students from their caretakers. He added that the district later spoke with the students’ caretakers and learned that was untrue.
An no doubt they would have kidnapped these kids if the school had let them in.
Ice are taking hostages now.
The first part of that quote had me worried they’d grabbed their parents and these kids had no one to go home to.
I honestly don’t know what’s worse.
Except humans. Humans are The Worst.
Genuinely sickening to see these attempts at cloaking this as something they’re doing out of care for children, and not the monstrous fascist secret police bullshit it is.
“DHS is leading efforts to conduct welfare checks on these children to ensure that they are safe and not being exploited, abused, and sex trafficked,” the homeland security department said in a statement to Fox 11 Los Angeles.
So, they lied, as part of their official duties. In a sane world, that should get them fired.
And charged with a crime.
turned away by school administrators
Those school administrators are heroes who should be an example to everyone right now
Oh, they’ll be made an example* of - don’t you worry about that.
I hear there’s a good chance for an impromptu vacation to El Salvador for any of those administrators who can’t trace their full lineage back to the Mayflower.
Ahh, yes, the first-grade gang members definitely need to be deported to El Salvador Concentration Camp.
Sorry…
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME…???
GOING AFTER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CHILDREN…???
FFS!!!
🤡 🤡 🤦♀️ 🖕 🖕
The strategy is likely to use the kids to draw out the parents. It’s actual fucking gestapo shit.
I was gonna say, didnt the Gestapo weaponize kids against their parents?

Same things been happening here in Chicago with ICE getting told off by schools. Idk how long we’ll be able to keep them out though…
Holy shit, we might actually need armed guards at schools after all. To protect the kids from ICE.
“Criminals will no longer be able to hide in America’s schools and churches to avoid arrest,” former acting homeland security secretary Benjamine Huffman said in a statement announcing the new policy. “The Fuckhead administration will not tie the hands of our brave law enforcement, and instead trusts them to use common sense.”
Man, I hate religion as much as the next sane person, but aside from institutional diddling, I don’t think that’s where criminals are hanging out.
Build a bookcase in front of a doorway. Make a secret backhouse where you can at least try and have a normal life for the time being.
