Federal agents were about to enter schools in Los Angeles this week for what was considered the first time since President Donald Trump announced an immigration enforcement crackdown.
They were denied entry.
Two federal officials were about to enroll at Lillian Street Elementary School and Russell Elementary School on Monday. Following the Los Angeles Unified School District protocols, school administrators were given them on their shoulders.
The agent was from the Department of Homeland Security, and the district was later confirmed. No immigration or customs enforcement agents were involved.

The Department of Homeland Security has not publicly commented on the issue.
The attempt to enter two LAUSD schools is against the Biden administration guidelines after the Trump administration allowed federal agents to enter “sensitive areas” to conduct immigration-related investigations.
“We will no longer be hiding in American schools and churches to avoid arrests,” said the Department of Homeland Security’s Benjamin Huffman Bureau on January 21, which ran the department before Kristi Noem was sworn in on January 25.
As of Thursday morning, the exact goals of the LA School agents were unknown.
