During a press briefing on Tuesday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt answered a question about a disabled student who was allegedly detained by ICE.
00:00So there are a lot of reports that ICE agents detained a 15-year-old student with disabilities outside an L.A. high school, even leaving bullets on the sidewalk.
00:08How does the Trump administration plan to ensure parents, if their children, can return to school without fear of being wrongfully detained or endangered by federal agents?
00:17Where did you see that report?
00:18L.A. Times.
00:19Okay, well, I'll have to look into the veracity of that report.
00:21I read the L.A. Times almost every single day, and they are notorious for misleading the public.
00:26I'm sure there's more to that story than the way that you just characterized it.
00:30This administration wants to ensure that all schoolchildren across the country and every city from Los Angeles to D.C. can go to school safely.
00:38And that's part of this administration's effort to federalize the National Guard in Washington to ensure that ICE is removing child predators.
00:46I just read you a list of a handful, just a handful, of the hundreds of thousands of child predators that this administration is removing off of the streets of Los Angeles.
00:56And every other community across this country, because we want to ensure this is a country where American schoolchildren can be safe, where they can prosper, and where they are not threatened by violent criminals, whether they are illegal or whether they are American citizen homegrown criminals, as this president calls them.
01:13So I will gladly go check on that report, and I'll get you the facts.
