EXCLUSIVE — A northern California school district circulated a memo to staff instructing them on how to stall U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers from entering school buildings this week.

On the heels of President Donald Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration, Pleasanton Unified School District sent out a memo titled “Immigration & Customs Enforcement Response Summary,” which was obtained by the Washington Examiner.

“I felt like it was a lot to ask,” a PUSD staff member told the Washington Examiner. “I’m not necessarily willing to get in between ICE and their ability to do their job. They are there to do their job, and I’m there to do mine.”

PUSD employees were instructed to meet the ICE officer at the building entrance, request that the officer remain outside the building, and ask for the officer’s name, ID, his or her supervisor’s phone number, the reason for visiting the school, and documentation such as a subpoena or warrant.

During this process, administrators are instructed to “obtain guidance from district administration under legal counsel,” notify the Student Services director, and contact the legal guardians of the student or students in question.

The document says staff should not take action until they “obtain clear instructions from district administration” but advises them not to “physically attempt to interfere” if the ICE officer “fails to comply with your instructions.” In that event, they are told to “obtain as much information as possible from the officer,” notify the Student Services director, and “make notes of the officer’s actions.”

According to a PUSD staff member, the document dated Monday, Jan. 27, was “given to the entire district” and their colleagues received it on Wednesday, Jan. 29.

On the day of Trump’s second inauguration, his administration ended a policy that prevented ICE and U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents from making arrests at schools and churches. The previous guidance was in place for over a decade.

“This action empowers the brave men and women in CBP and ICE to enforce our immigration laws and catch criminal aliens — including murderers and rapists — who have illegally come into our country. Criminals will no longer be able to hide in America’s schools and churches to avoid arrest,” the Department of Homeland Security said in a Tuesday statement.

The Washington Examiner reached out to Pleasanton Unified School District for comment.
