ICE, Border Patrol Detain L.A. Teen Outside School; Family Files $1M Claim Alleging Unconstitutional Profiling

Attorneys filed a $1 million administrative claim alleging ICE and Border Patrol unlawfully detained and racially profiled a 15-year-old U.S. citizen with disabilities outside Arleta High on Aug. 11. DHS acknowledges mistaken identity but denies targeting schools or profiling, saying agents pursued a specific suspect later arrested. The incident, one of several recent LA-area school-adjacent enforcement actions, has prompted LAUSD to expand protections and fueled legal and civil-rights concerns.
