LAUSD Ramps up Protections Amid Immigration Raids
LAUSD will deploy over 1,000 staff and volunteers, update policies, and offer virtual learning to ensure student safety amid ongoing ICE operations near schools.
- On Monday, U.S. federal agents detained a 15-year-old LAUSD student with disabilities near Arleta High School in Los Angeles amid increasing immigration enforcement.
- This incident, deemed a mistaken identity case, occurred during heightened ICE raids that have caused fear among families and reduced summer school attendance.
- In response, LAUSD expanded safe passage zones from about 40 to over 100 schools, rerouted bus routes to accommodate families, and increased volunteer presence to monitor routes.
- Superintendent Carvalho stated that no individuals are permitted to enter the schools without a court-approved warrant and added that the district is taking all necessary measures to ensure a secure environment for students and staff.
- These measures aim to reassure families and protect students amid fear of enforcement near campuses, while LAUSD offers virtual learning and distributes family preparedness packs.
