Los Angeles' schools superintendent faces criticism for his stance against ICE as students plan walkouts to protest immigration enforcement. Concerns are raised about student safety and academic performance amidst the demonstrations, with legal repercussions threatened for those involved.
LA’s schools boss has been condemned for his anti- ICE rants as more students across the city prepare to walk out of classrooms to protest against illegal immigration crackdowns.is one of the nation’s top educators.
He’s also a been a very vocal critic of federal immigration enforcement.Carvalho’s comments were slammed by California State Superintendent candidate Sonja Shaw. “Fewer than half of the students in Carvalho’s Los Angeles Unified School District can read or write at grade level, that’s the real crisis here,” Shaw told The California Post.involving studentsAdding to the enforcement, U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli has made one thing clear: his office has zero tolerance for out-of-control student protesters. On Saturday, Essayli released pictures of two teens suspected of attacking ICE agents in Friday’s demonstration and promised to “criminally prosecute” them. Two federal agents were also injured by rock-throwing rioters on Friday, according to the Department of Homeland Security. The day’s wild demonstrations also saw teens burning flags, vandalizing buildings and, in one case, swinging a pipe at officers. In a news release Monday, LAPD officials warned that students who cut class to speak out against ICE could face legal repercussions, and so could any adults who assist them. “School attendance is mandatory in the City of Los Angeles and there may be legal consequences for parents and students,” the LAPD wrote. “It is unlawful for any minors under 18 to be in public places, streets, or amusement spots during school hours.”“We support everyone in exercising their First Amendment rights, but we also see what happens too often when young people are out there and being guided, maybe, in the wrong direction,” said McDonnell in a televised interview. “In some cases, they get jammed up,” McDonnell continued. “They get an arrest or something that’s going to harm them for the rest of their life. We don’t want to see that happen.” Carvalho came to the United States as an undocumented immigrant himself and has been passionate about protecting students from ICE agents’ visits to city schools. He even used school cops to create anti-ICE “perimeters of safety” around high school graduation ceremonies after federal raids in July. Carvalho couldn’t respond to the LA cops’ news release in an interview personally on Tuesday, his reps said, due to a school board meeting. An LAUSD spokeswoman said the district is “concerned for student safety at off-campus demonstrations”, in response to the police warning. Instead, LA’s public schools are “providing students with opportunities on campus for student expression” and “resources and guidance for students to engage in meaningful, age-appropriate discussions,” the spokeswoman said.Stepmom's haunting plea before cheerleader found dead in LV murder-suicideTrans dad shoots wife, 3 kids in horrid 'family dispute' at crowded RI hockey arena — as players and fans are seen scrambling to safety‘Big Bang Theory’ star secretly uses $45M net worth to pay off random families’ medical billsRingo Chiu/SOPA Images/Shutterstock
