The above video was taken by a surveillance camera of the El Rancho School District in Pico Rivera, California at 8:55 a.m. on June 17, 2025 and allegedly shows multiple Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents urinating on the grounds of a Pico Rivera public high school in broad daylight.
The El Rancho School District issued a public statement saying the incursion of ICE agents onto school property was an unlawful trespass. Public urination is also illegal in Los Angeles County and under state law could be considered a public nuisance, and lewd and disorderly conduct, but El Rancho School District officials said in their statement that the ICE agents’ alleged behavior on June 17 also raised questions about whether they violated California law by potentially exposing themselves in public and to minors.
Competing narratives…
“The El Rancho School District issued a public statement saying the incursion of ICE agents onto school property was an unlawful trespass.”
and yet…
“ICE agents can enter public areas of a school without a warrant, but they cannot access non-public areas, such as classrooms, without consent from school officials or a valid judicial warrant. Schools have the right to refuse entry to ICE agents unless these conditions are met.”
Metaphor for the U.S. right now, and how they feel about democracy, constitution, etc.
