Los Angeles schools close their doors to immigration agents

Fox News

In response to the federal government raids announced at the beginning of this year to apprehend undocumented Central American immigrants, public schools in Los Angeles, where about 50 percent of the student body is Hispanic, will not allow immigration authorities to enter the campuses.

The decision taken on Tuesday by the Los Angeles Unified School District board is for all schools, from kindergarten through high school, to be declared “safe zones” and resource centers for students and families threatened by the enforcement of immigration laws.  

According to the proposal presented by board president Steve Zimmer, any request by Immigration and Customs Enforcement to come onto LAUSD school property must be submitted to the superintendent and the school district’s general counsel for review.

The resolution emphasizes the need for Congress to act to reform current immigration law and states that any Los Angeles school is a safe zone for all students and their families.

ICE spokesman for the Western District Virginia Kice said in a statement that the agency considers schools and churches to be “sensitive” sites, and thus no raids or detentions are made there.

The LAUSD resolution also enourages the superintendent to increase and broaden alliances with community orgnaizations and legal services to offer resources for families facing deportation.

Thus, the school district is seeking to establish a “response network” to help children who have a relative who may be deported by immigration authorities.

  1. Who in LA wants “beaners” in public schools? Vote me in and they’ll have to teach our kids in Spanish. Refried beans and tacos will be on every free lunch gig. Need some pot, no problem. Cocaine, no problem, meth? All you want! Yupperdoodle! What’s that in your lunch bag there, beaner?

    My people would never use children to distribute drugs. We be better than beggars. We earn an honest living doing dishonorable things. People label us as lazy, and it took years of laziness to earn that title. The worst part is realizing that we’re better than hiring these young, Caucasian, college grads with the manicured fingernails. And you can pay us much less, how about that!, What a deal!

    I stumps me to think about all the brainiacs out there that don’t have a F’N clue. They think they know everything, yet, they know nothing. There’s only one hope for these lost souls. A double-dose of “The Word”, intravenously injected, STAT!

  2. This has to be a joke.
    Our borders are wide open, border patrol has been told to stand down,
    and you have clowns coming into schools looking for immigrant kids?

    This can only be programming for the children.
    Otherwise, it just makes no sense.
