In response to the federal government raids announced at the beginning of this year to apprehend undocumented Central American immigrants, public schools in Los Angeles, where about 50 percent of the student body is Hispanic, will not allow immigration authorities to enter the campuses.
The decision taken on Tuesday by the Los Angeles Unified School District board is for all schools, from kindergarten through high school, to be declared "safe zones" and resource centers for students and families threatened by the enforcement of immigration laws.
According to the proposal presented by board president Steve Zimmer, any request by Immigration and Customs Enforcement to come onto LAUSD school property must be submitted to the superintendent and the school district's general counsel for review.
The resolution emphasizes the need for Congress to act to reform current immigration law and states that any Los Angeles school is a safe zone for all students and their families.
ICE spokesman for the Western District Virginia Kice said in a statement that the agency considers schools and churches to be "sensitive" sites, and thus no raids or detentions are made there.
The LAUSD resolution also enourages the superintendent to increase and broaden alliances with community orgnaizations and legal services to offer resources for families facing deportation.
Thus, the school district is seeking to establish a "response network" to help children who have a relative who may be deported by immigration authorities.

And how do you plan to keep them out? Shoot them?
I would send them in and see what happens. If LA resists, push your way in, sue them, and cut off their funds.
LAPS has NO SUCH AUTHORITY!!!
Should read: Los Angeles Schools Close Their Doors to Taxpayer Money
Cut off all federal funding NOW. Every damned penny.
It’s a good thing for them that they’re Democrats.
Four non-Democrats are going down right now for standing up to federal LE agents.

§ 2.32 Interfering with agency functions.
(a) The following are prohibited:
(1) Interference. Threatening, resisting, intimidating, or intentionally interfering with a government employee or agent engaged in an official duty, or on account of the performance of an official duty.
Didn’t we learn from the standoff in Oregon that interfering with a federal officer is a felony?
Get those trespassers in Oregon....
Meanwhile, tens of millions of trespassers who are aided and abetted by the same government, enjoy tax paid prizes, gifts and the benefits of America with zero fear of retaliation.
And ICE doesn’t do immigration raids in schools, so it is just posturing by a member of the school board.
Wonder if any reporter consulted with the BLM folks as to how they feel about illegals being guaranteed safe haven while LAUSD and LAPD can come in and arrest their thugs, err, children?
There are 2 illegal immigrants holding public office in Los Angeles County. We are now a lawless country.
sorry, but only bankruptcy of this city, the State and Federal Government will derail the progressives in government at this point.
Hands off the millions of illegal trespassers Americans are forced by government to pay for.
Leave them alone!
Exactly what came to my mind. ‘Rats have no shame of their hypocrisy.
What happens when you allow a major city to be colonized. They take it over and impose their own rules.
or revolution
it is a “resolution” IOW meaningless show vote.
In a sane world, the response would be “no funding til you open those doors.”. Then you know they are serious about it. Until then, it’s kabuki theater meant to temporarily placate the masses.
Los Angeles is now almost run top to bottom by domestic terrorists.
After Trump wins, they will be held accountable to the law, and domestic terrorists will not be tolerated if they stand in front of the school yard door and say the law cannot come in.
California drivers licenses issued to illegal aliens will not be accepted at any federal level as valid use for travel or anything else.
Anyone who attempts to use terrorism against our police officers will be dealt with severe consequence.
So LA trumps the Federal government ?
No liberals complaining about it either.
Well any time a conservative state proposes defying the Federal government the libs on MSNBC :Mathews, Sharpton, Perry,... all cry Jim Crowe and “States Rights=Southern pre-civil rights racism."
But its OK when they do it,
This headline, alone, should be enough to convince every sane & qualified voter to vote for Trump.
