Many San Pedro residents were woken this morning by the ever-unsettling sound of constant whirring helicopter blades on the morning of Wednesday Feb. 25. But while the noise of the Coast Guard and even Los Angeles Police Dept copters flying over our bustling neighborhoods is part of the daily ambient noise of the Harbor Area, this was different. It soon became clear thanks to citizen journalism shared on social media<\/a>, that Los Angeles Unified School District Superintendent Alberto Carvalho\u2019s home was being raided by FBI agents.<\/p>\n

CBS<\/a> reports that the DOJ says \u201cthe underlying affidavit remained under seal\u201d meaning that we still don\u2019t know what the investigation and its charges are related to. What we do know is that the FBI also searched the LAUSD headquarters and Carvalho\u2019s home in Miami-Dade where he was formerly the Superintendent of that School District prior to his appointment at LAUSD.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s worth noting, as our colleagues at the LAist reported<\/a>, the wider context surrounding the raid.<\/p>\n

\u201cCarvalho and the district\u2019s elected board have expressed unanimous support for immigrant students<\/a>, staff and families since President Donald Trump was elected to a second term. The superintendent has also spoken openly about his own journey as a former undocumented immigrant.<\/p>\n

The district\u2019s first major conflict with the administration began in February 2025, when agents from the Department of Homeland Security attempted to enter multiple LAUSD schools<\/a>, but were rebuffed.<\/p>\n

The DOJ also recently petitioned to join a lawsuit<\/a> alleging the district discriminates against white students<\/a>.\u201dSo far the only official statement from LAUSD was minimal and was posted on their official website<\/a>. \u201cWe have been informed of law enforcement activity at Los Angeles Unified School District headquarters and at the home of the Superintendent. The District is cooperating with the investigation and we do not have further information at this time.\u201d<\/p>\n
