News Release - Superintendent Carvalho Statement on Immigration Enforcement Activity Near District Schools (06-06-25)

“I am dismayed by recent immigration enforcement activity occurring near our schools. These actions are causing unnecessary fear, confusion, and trauma for our students and families – many of whom are simply trying to get to and from school and work, and to live with dignity.

 

Our schools must remain safe havens – places where every child can learn, grow, and thrive without fear of being separated from their loved ones. The presence of federal immigration activity near campuses threatens that fundamental right. Children deserve support, not surveillance.

 

Los Angeles Unified stands with our immigrant families. We will continue to provide resources, support, and information to protect our students and their families – and we will use every tool at our disposal to advocate for their safety and well-being.

 

We are working with school leaders, safety teams, and community partners to ensure that impacted schools remain a safe, welcoming, and protected environment for all students and families. We are advising families to closely monitor communication from their schools. If any parent or guardian sees immigration activity, please contact your school, utilize the LASAR app, and/or call the Family Hotline at 213-443-1300.”
