LA Unified Teachers Patrol Schools to Protect Students from ICE Raids

Protecting Students on the First Day Back

• 🍎 On the first day back to school for LA Unified students, many immigrant families expressed fear due to recent immigration raids.
• 🛡️ LA Unified has been proactive in assuring immigrant families that measures are in place to provide safe passage for students to and from school.

Teacher-Led Patrols for Safety

• 🤝 A group of teachers has partnered with the community activist group Yon Delbario to conduct teacher patrols.
• 📚 Over a thousand teachers were trained during the summer to spot federal agents near public schools.
• 📢 The patrols aim to notify the school administration if federal agents are observed in the neighborhood, ensuring student safety.

Addressing Constitutional Concerns

• ⚖️ Teachers involved in the patrols believe that the actions of federal agents may be unconstitutional, even with federal backing.
• 🔍 The goal is to document these occurrences and ensure that actions taken are legal, constitutional, and moral.
