Los Angeles schools Superintendent Alberto Carvalho this week delivered a passionate speech stressing the protection of schoolchildren from immigration raids.
“My friends, across the district, schools have endured something no one in a community should have to withstand, weeks of immigration raids, helicopters overhead, militarized vehicles in our streets, uniformed agents near school gates and graduations …” Carvalho told Los Angeles Unified School District staff and students during his address before the start of the 2025-26 school year.
“Still, you showed up. Our educators showed up,” Carvalho said inside a packed Walt Disney Concert Hall in downtown Los Angeles. “You kept hearts steady while uncertainty knocked loudly outside.”
The Center Square reached out Wednesday to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to comment on Carvalho’s speech, but did not get an immediate response.
Carvalho made his points Tuesday during a two-hour multimedia program in an auditorium that’s home to the Los Angeles Philharmonic. The presentation featured slides, videos, and vocal and instrumental performances by students from the nation’s second largest school district.
