DHS Agents Detain Student in Mistaken Identity | JQJO

Department of Homeland Security agents allegedly detained a 15-year-old boy with disabilities outside Arleta High School in Los Angeles on Monday. The incident, described as a case of mistaken identity by LAUSD officials, involved handcuffing and drawing of weapons. The boy, who attends a different school, was released at the scene. LAUSD Superintendent Alberto Carvalho called the actions "reprehensible" and "unacceptable." The district is investigating and has surveillance footage but won't release it to protect the student's identity. DHS has yet to comment.
