LA Teachers Take Up Arms Against Immigration Enforcement in Rogue School Patrol Effort
Los Angeles teachers have taken to patrolling neighborhoods near schools to deter Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, a move the school district has disavowed amid criticism from DHS officials who claim it spreads a 'false narrative' about immigration enforcement efforts.
LA teachers have been patrolling neighborhoods near schools to identify and deter Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in a move condemned by the school district, which has since disavowed the effort as a 'rogue initiative'. The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has criticized critics for perpetuating a 'false narrative' about ICE's role in schools. Amidst growing opposition to immigration enforcement in schools, the city's mayor and several council members have called for an end to such patrols. The Los Angeles Unified School District has since shifted its focus towards supporting immigrant families.
