Carvalho condemned any actions aimed at intimidating school communities and pledged that the district would collaborate with school police and law enforcement to address any violations targeting them.These concerns arise as LAUSD prepares for potential immigration raids following several executive orders issued by President Trump. The district has taken proactive steps to ensure the safety and rights of its students and staff.

A district spokesperson confirmed that the district is also providing mandatory training for staff on how to handle an immigration raid at or near a school. The LASUD has emphasized its commitment to protecting the legal and privacy rights of students and staff, stating that school officials do not collect or share information about the immigration status of students and their families. It remains unconfirmed if immigration agents have conducted raids on any LAUSD campuses. CBS News Los Angeles has reached out to ICE for comment on the situation
