It’s just being reported that Los Angeles will begin deploying “school police to set up safe zones around campuses, graduations amid ICE raids”, to keep ICE from entering school campuses.
And Mayor Bass knows all about it and supports it.
Below is the news from the LA Times:
They write:
Los Angeles school police will set up a safety perimeter around campuses and school events — including graduations — to keep federal immigration agents away from students, employees and families, school officials said Monday.
The announcement by Supt. Alberto Carvalho comes amid widespread immigration raids in Los Angeles — including one on Monday at a Home Depot adjacent to Huntington Park High School — after a weekend of isolated but intense downtown clashes between police and protesters, some of whom set self-driving Waymo cars on fire and threw rocks and fireworks.
The move is among the most notable actions taken by the nation’s second-largest school district, whose leaders said at a news conference Monday that they will deploy their own police force to protect students and their families so they can enjoy in peace the many graduation ceremonies that will unfold this week as the school year concludes Tuesday.
President Trump reversed a Biden administration policy that largely exempted schools and other potentially sensitive areas such as churches from immigration enforcement. In recent days, federal agents also have not targeted local schools. But in April federal agents were turned away by staff at two elementary schools.
Carvalho did not rule out the potential for a standoff involving school police if federal officers attempted to enter a school or an off-campus school event — such as a graduation ceremony — without a judicial warrant.
“I think that would be a preposterous condition,” Carvalho said. “But then again, we have seen preposterous actions taken recently by this administration. We are prepared for everything,” Carvalho said, adding that he’s in consultation on contingency plans with L.A. Mayor Karen Bass.
But there are limits. Officials acknowledged that they are not legally allowed to interfere if officers arrive with a judicial warrant, which are relatively rare. All school staff — not just the school police — have received training in how to interact with immigration agents, especially to limit their access to campus and children.
Border Czar Tom Homan has always maintained that they do not target illegals attending schools, but said if there is a criminal illegal present in a school who is a public safety or national security threat, they will go into a school to arrest them:
Like I said, when the circumstances arise and we’ve got national security threats and significant public safety threats, we’re gonna go where we gotta go. Whether it’s a school, a church or a hospital, the national security is important. Look, name another law enforcement agency – does the FBI have those requirements? No. Does the DEA have those requirements? No. So ICE shouldn’t have those requirements either. We have a national security responsibility and we’re going to take these people off the streets. If it’s out of a school, then that’s what we’re going to do. Again, it takes a lot to get approval to go into a school or a church. But if there’s a national security threat, we’re going.
In other words, this ‘safety perimeter’ won’t do a damn thing to keep ICE out of schools if that’s where they need to be. And if school officials try and stop ICE, you can bet they will be on the other side of a jail cell because of it.
