Plainclothes agents. Trying to question elementary-aged kids. And lying that they had parents permission to do so.

Federal officials arrived, denied entry at L.A. schools amid immigration enforcement fears

Federal agents sought access to students at two Los Angeles elementary schools this week and were denied access.
Homeland Security officials maintain the agents were there to conduct welfare checks on undocumented students.
Federal agents were denied entrance to two elementary schools in the Los Angeles Unified School District this week after they showed up unannounced and sought to get in touch with five students who the agents alleged had entered the country without documentation, school officials said Thursday.

According to schools Supt. Alberto Carvalho, the agents said they were there to check on the students’ well-being and lied when they told school officials that their families had given permission for the contact.

It was the first reported instance of an attempt by U.S. authorities to enter an L.A. public school amid the Trump administration’s vows to ramp up enforcement of U.S. immigration laws and more swiftly deport immigrants in the country without authorization.

1. This is barbaric.

2. ICE and "welfare checks"......seriously?

ICE’s reason for being at those elementary schools was so on the up-and-up they had to lie about it?

3. Every day, we see more and more evidence that ICE deliberately recruits total sleazeballs.

Willingness to break the law is a job requirement, not a disqualifier.

And once they're in uniform, the training in sleazeballery is just getting started.
