Strong First-Day Attendance at LAUSD Schools Despite Immigration Fears
This article was originally published in EdSource. Four days after a 15-year-old with a disability was mistakenly detained and handcuffed by immigration agents outside of Arleta High School, the first day of the new school year in the Los Angeles Unified School District seemed normal. Students at Arleta High walked through the school's annual red carpet on Thursday as music played and cheerleaders performed. Teachers, like Nicole Patin, greeted them while passing out flyers in English and Spanish to parents and red cards detailing what to do if stopped or detained by an ICE agent. Close friends and former colleagues joined in to welcome the students, including some of Patin's former students. Get stories like this delivered straight to your inbox. Sign up for The 74 Newsletter 'It was actually even emotional, because they just decided to show up,' said Patin, who also serves as chair of the school's United Teachers Los Angeles chapter. 'People that, at one point, were dear friends that had worked, people that were retired, they all came out to help us kick the year off in the right way.' Similar sentiments reigned across Los Angeles Unified as students returned to school, district officials said during a press conference at Gardena High School. And amid heightened immigration fears, district Superintendent Alberto Carvalho touted a 92% attendance rate districtwide — two percentage points higher than last year, a direct result of outreach that included more than 11,000 phone calls and 1,000 home visits. 'We're very proud of you, and I just want to echo our happiness and congratulations on all the things that you've done today, and we know that you're not going to stop, that this will be a continuation,' State Superintendent of Instruction Tony Thurmond said at the press conference. 'The state of California and our office will continue to support you in your work.' The district's Region South had the lowest rate of attendance, which Carvalho suspected was due to the area being home to more Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activity and parents' fears. He did not disclose the number. Related In response to current immigration activity, he said the district would ramp up its iAttend program — where school and district staff knock on the doors of families and encourage students to return to the classroom — from a quarterly to a monthly activity. He also said that following a 300-student increase, or 7% uptick, in virtual academy enrollment last week, about 200 families changed their minds and reenrolled their children in one of LAUSD's regular, in-person campuses 'as a result of increased trust and confidence specific to the protection protocols.' '[Today] was a great day of joy, of happiness, of community that was celebrated by students, parents and staff alike,' Carvalho said. 'The fear is real, that the anxiety is undeniable, that the concern in the minds and hearts of parents is strong. But many parents told us that the steps we took [involving several tiers of protection and safety zones surrounding schools] … created an environment where parents believed that the best place for their children would be the schoolhouse.' ICE activity took place on Tuesday, near several schools, but no closer than two blocks away. The schools were: Danny J. Bakewell Sr., Primary Center and Bret Harte Preparatory Middle School in Region South Mendez High School, Ramon C. Cortines School of Visual and Performing Arts and Castelar Elementary School in Region East Victory Boulevard Elementary and STEAM Magnet in Region North Everyone involved was quick to communicate and respond, and 'no impact was seen or felt by these schools as a result of these federal actions in the neighborhood,' Carvalho said. The superintendent also said the district is working actively with two impacted families. One is the family of an 18-year-old Reseda High School student who was detained while walking his dog and is currently in a detention center in Los Angeles. Carvalho said the boy's mother told him, 'My son is in a small space with 40 men, most of them, if not all of them, much older than he is. He is 18 years old, but he's a kid. He has not been exposed to anything in his life. He drinks water once a day. The food is insufficient.' The second involved a student who was taken to a detention center in Texas but has since been released. 'Armed men in hoods with masks jumping out of vehicles with militarized vests with long guns in hand. … It's shocking for most adults,' Carvalho said. 'Think for a second about the impact that this has on impressionable young children. … I'm a father. I would not want my child to witness that.' He and school board member Tanya Ortiz Franklin urged families to contact their school's principal if they need help with transportation. Carvalho said they have so far met the needs of more than 300 families who have requested special accommodation, including modifications of bus routes and potential door-to-door services. 'In some ZIP codes in our country, the children will never witness [detentions]. Never,' Carvalho said. 'And then there are kids in [other regions who] walk to school. Blocks. … Can we spare, beyond politics, policy and legalities, can we spare our children from that trauma?' Patin, the Arleta High School teacher, said attendance remained strong on her campus and in her classrooms. 'Our campus is very secure. Our office is locked. … There's no strangers or people just dropping in or having access to our campus,' she said. 'That's really never been that way. But we're especially vigilant now.' And while the overall energy was positive, she said the immigration raids have impacted students. Many, she said, had watched violent interactions on social media and feared for themselves or family members. 'When class started, they wanted to talk about all of the people that were out in front of school and the reporters. They had questions,' she said. 'They also wanted to share their own perspective on the experience and what they were feeling. So, we all allowed for that.' More LAUSD students stayed home this summer than usual, Patin said. And many were happy to meet up with their peers after months of being apart. Twelfth grader Andry Estrada was among them, happy to leave home at 6:30 a.m. and greet his classmates as a member of the marching band and as the secretary of the school's Associated Student Body. He said he was excited to be reunited with his classmates, some of whom had stayed home toward the end of the 2024-25 academic year for fear of immigration enforcement. 'I was definitely excited to see my teachers again and build new relationships and friendships that I haven't been able to reach in the summertime,' Estrada said. 'It's overall been a great day.'

Vandalism at San Jose business being investigated as antisemitic hate crime
San Jose police are investigating what they say is a hate crime after a Jewish-owned HVAC company's vehicles and building were vandalized with swastikas. Owner of HVAC and Insulation Gurus Lior Zeevi said he was disgusted to wake up to a call about something like this. "It's the fact that people did it just because of my religion and nothing else," said Zeevi. Zeevi is Jewish, but said no one else at his business shares his religion. He called San Jose police immediately to report it. They came to the business, spoke with neighbors, and determined the incident was a hate crime. Police haven't caught the person yet, but security cameras did. "It took them less than two minutes to do so much damage," said Zeevi. "They broke some windows, some side mirrors, the paint, the cars. The girls in the office got scared a little bit." The vandals were wearing all black, making it difficult to find anything that could distinguish them. Zeevi said he is known in the community for his faith and is still processing that something like this happened. "Every time there is a holiday or something, and the Rabbi is doing an event, he's going to advertise us because we're donating the food or something like that," explained Zeevi. "So, everybody in the community knows our name, they know the logo." He reached out to his Rabbi, Mendel Weinfeld, for support, and the response was more than he could have ever expected. "The rabbi put a post on his Facebook," said Zeevi. "I got hundreds of phone calls, emails, and texts from the whole community. People I don't even know that supported me and made me feel way better." Rabbi Weinfeld said this isn't the first time they've seen antisemitism in the San Jose community, but it's not going to stop them. "It's not just vandalism, they try to put fear in the hearts of the Jewish people, and what ends up happening is the opposite," said Weinfeld. He said the Jewish people will come together to support one another. "Our response is to do more goodness and kindness; that's always our response," said Weinfeld. "To add light and do good." Zeevi doesn't know if these people will be caught, but he said he wishes people would stop targeting his community, or any community. "I just hope this is the last hate crime happening over here," said Zeevi.

‘48 Hours' True Crime Podcast Goes ‘Inside The Daniel Marsh Murders'
It was the type of unthinkable crime that stays with you long after you cover the story. In 2013, 15-year-old Daniel Marsh was accused of killing and mutilating the bodies of an elderly couple living nearby his father in California. The teen was arrested after bragging about what he'd done to friends, and he later confessed and pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. 48 Hours Correspondent Erin Moriarty couldn't shake memories of covering the case several years after the murders, when a legal development meant Marsh had a possibility for early release. Now, more than a decade after the murders, she is launching a new six-episode podcast that explores the motivations and psyche of the teenage killer. Fifteen: Inside the Daniel Marsh Murders launched today (listen to the trailer). 'This is the kind of story that is hard for a reporter to forget: the senseless murders of a married couple, Chip Northup and Claudia Maupin, with no evidence left behind at the scene and no murder weapon,' said Moriarty. 'And the mastermind behind it all? A fifteen-year-old California boy named Daniel Marsh that law enforcement believed was a serial killer-in-training. The FBI special agent who later interrogated Marsh told me that the teenager was one of the most dangerous suspects he had ever interviewed.' The podcast will be available on Apple and other platforms, dropping every Wednesday for six weeks. 48 Hours+ subscribers on Apple can access episodes ad-free and a week early. Podcast Explores Daniel Marsh's Crime And Remembers His Victims The podcast goes in-depth into Marsh's actions and doesn't shy from sharing some of the terrible things that he endured in his childhood while also conveying that nothing excuses his actions. Moriarty also wanted to tell the story of Maupin and Northup. The first episode details how Maupin moved to Davis, California, looking for love—and finding Northrup. They seemed happy until they failed to show up at church, worrying their families and leading to their discovery. 'Through the podcast, I was able to better explain how the victims' families' lives were ripped apart by these murders,' Moriarty said. 'We also delved into the complexity of psychopathy, particularly in young men. And I was fortunate enough to reconnect with the psychiatrist who evaluated Daniel in 2013 and 2018 for his defense team. That psychiatrist, who once believed Marsh could be safely returned to society after treatment, talks about how his feelings have since evolved.' Moriarty's reporting also focuses on some interesting legal developments that led her to become interested in bigger questions. 'As a reporter with a law degree, I try to focus on cases like this that raise important legal issues. In 2018, when I first started interviewing investigators and the victims' families, recently passed California state laws meant that there was a very real chance that Daniel Marsh, who was serving a 50-plus-year prison sentence, would be eligible for early release,' Moriarty said. 'While there is a significant amount of evidence that young offenders can benefit from treatment, Marsh's background and his diagnosis as a psychopath raised questions whether some juveniles are simply too dangerous to be safely released back to the community.' That helped drive her reporting. True Crime Podcast Popularity Soars Expanding her reporting for a podcast made sense. True crime podcasts have gone well beyond 'having a moment' to lifting the format into a media phenom, and 48 Hours has experienced its own podcasting success. Blood is Thicker, hosted by Peter Van Sant, hit #1 on the Apple podcast charts, and his 'Trained to Kill,' which debuted this spring, was also a top 10 True Crime podcast on Apple. Moriarty has hosted two prior podcasts—My Life of Crime and Murder in the Orange Grove: The Troubled Case Against Crosley Green, which reached No. 6 on Apple's overall podcast charts. 'True crime continues to resonate in podcast form because you have time to tell a more nuanced story,' she said. 'Cases like that of Daniel Marsh are complicated. This is a boy who suffered as a child. That being said, many others have suffered similarly and do not kill.' She appreciates podcasts' ability to zero in on small details of a case while also pulling out to examine the broader picture. 'These stories focus on a crucial question that experts have been unable to answer: What made a teenager like Daniel Marsh kill? Was he born that way or do other individuals and systems play a role in shaping who he became?' said Moriarty.
