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.
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.
What absolutely horrible people. The fuck would they know about judging someone’s well-being anyway?
And “unaccompanied”? Bros it’s a school literally their job aside from education is to supervise the children in their care.
turned away by school administrators
Those school administrators are heroes who should be an example to everyone right now
Ahh, yes, the first-grade gang members definitely need to be deported to El Salvador Concentration Camp.
Those children were clearly murderous gang members too dangerous to be in the united states off to El Salvador with them /s
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.
ICE is the new gestapo
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.
Unless you have a warrant, then you shall no pass!
In school in a sanctuary district? I wouldn't let them in with a warrant. ICE can fuck off.
We all know in any city they arent getting a warrant. This is point blank fascism. Make anyone not from the U.S.A. to feel like an outcast. This will be effective come election time.
