LA Schools Create ‘Safe Zones’ as Immigration Enforcement Intensifies
Los Angeles Unified will form protective perimeters at over 100 schools and alert parents to immigration enforcement to address fears after a student was mistakenly detained by agents.
- On August 11, 2025, LAUSD officials reported that ICE agents mistakenly handcuffed a 15-year-old student with significant disabilities outside Arleta High School.

- Superintendent Alberto Carvalho said, “This cannot happen,” and noted the presence of bullets left by agents, warning fear might reduce school enrollment and urging accommodations to keep children attending.
- These measures aim to protect students and reassure families amid ongoing immigration raids, with coordinated community efforts and district resources planned to maintain safe access to education.
