Department of Homeland Security agents were denied entry into two South Los Angeles elementary schools earlier this week, according to a district spokesperson.

The incidents happened on Monday at Lillian Elementary School and Russell Elementary School. A message sent to the community attending both schools stated that the agents "identified themselves as representatives of a federal agency" before administrators turned them away.

A Department of Homeland Security spokesperson said the agents were conducting "wellness checks" on the children who arrived at the Mexico-U.S. border alone. "These HSI officers were at these schools conducting wellness checks on children who arrived unaccompanied at the border," the spokespersons said. "This had nothing to do with immigration enforcement. 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."

At a news conference Thursday morning, LAUSD Superintendent Alberto Carvalho said when the school principals asked for identification, the federal agents identified themselves as Homeland Security agents, not Immigration and Customs Enforcement. He also said in both instances the agents asked the principals about specific students who ranged between first and sixth grades. "My very first question starts there, what interest should a Homeland Security agent have in a first grader?" Carvalho said.

This made CBS national news as part of the growing effort by cities to fight this. They apparently have a "quota" and they will try to meet it any way they can.

3. I know back in January/February

there was a flurry of activity in many urban areas once the announcement was made about the rescinding of the "sensitive" locations guidance (i.e., schools, churches, etc). The main initial exhortation was that a warrant MUST BE presented or no entrance.

Jackass Gestapo agents.

4. "What interest?" Blackmail, of course. You have the child, the whole family will do whatever you say.

This is who we are now.

5. Given the hateful jerks in the Trump administration, the likely goal is to force these children to identify guardians.

Guardians may be undocumented, and DHS will notify ICE to deport them, including to the prison in El Salvador. The other option is that DHS is doing welfare checks to exploit, abuse, and sex trafficking the children, essentially disappearing the children, hundreds of whom have never been found, as Miller and Trump ordered during his first term.
