Here's how LAUSD responded after immigration agents attempted to enter schools

https://boyleheightsbeat.com/immigration-agents-denied-entry-at-two-lausd-elementary-schools/

Federal agents from the Department of Homeland Security were denied entry this week at two South L.A. elementary schools, district officials said.

At a press conference Thursday, Los Angeles Unified School District Supt. Alberto Carvalho confirmed that individuals who identified themselves as Homeland Security agents had attempted to enter Russell Elementary School and Lillian Street Elementary School on Monday.

An LAUSD spokesperson said the district sent a message to parents to inform them of the immigration activity.

Here’s what we know from the Superintendent:

* Teams of three to four individuals approached two schools.
* Individuals arrived at Russell Elementary School at 10 a.m. Monday, April 7, and identified themselves as Homeland Security agents.
* They asked questions about four students ranging from first to sixth grade.
* Two hours later Homeland Security agents arrived at Lillian Street Elementary and asked questions about a sixth-grade student.
* In one case, the agents were initially reluctant to show identification or refused “to allow the writing down of their names and badge numbers,” Carvalho said.
* In one case, agents declared to principals that the caretakers of the students had authorized them to go to the school. Carvalho said the agents’ claims were untrue.

Like Oregon, L.A. schools aren't putting up with this criminal org. attempt to illegally enter a place of education.
We need much more of this.
