A group of federal agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) are under fire after they were caught on camera urinating on a public school campus in Pico Rivera, California — just steps from a student playground.
The agents were filmed relieving themselves in broad daylight near storage containers at Ruben Salazar High School on the morning of June 17, according to officials from the El Rancho Unified School District (ERUSD). Students were present on campus at the time.
Video surveillance released by the school district “captured approximately ten ICE agents urinating near storage containers on the Salazar campus’ parking lot,” the school board wrote in a July 2 letter to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.
School officials say the agents provided no legal reason or judicial warrant for being on school grounds. Staff told them to leave, and they eventually did, but not before their actions were caught on tape, Los Angeles Times reports.
So far, the Department of Homeland Security has only said the incident “is under investigation” and has not explained why the agents were there in the first place.
The school district is demanding accountability. It’s asking for the names and badge numbers of every agent involved, as well as their supervisors who “aided, allowed, caused and permitted such unlawful behavior to take place.”
