FBI searching home and office of Los Angeles Unified School District Superintendent Alberto Carvalho

Federal officers are searching the home of Los Angeles Unified School District Superintendent Alberto Carvalho, The California Post confirmed.

The searches are being conducted at Carvalho’s San Pedro home, his office at LAUSD in downtown Los Angeles and another location in Miami tied to the investigation, according to a law enforcement source. An affidavit filed concerning the search was under seal, officials said.

LAUSD employees looked confused outside headquarters Wednesday morning, unsure if they were able to go into work. Federal agents were seen entering the building, but would not comment on the reason for their visit when asked by a reporter for The California Post.

Carvalho is the LAUSD’s chief employee and has led one of the nation’s largest school systems since 2022.

It’s unclear why authorities are conducting the search.

In July, Carvalho slammed ICE agents for allegedly urinating on the grounds of a Pico Rivera school as a “new level of despicable insult.” He said at a news conference in September last year that students and families should be protected from “immoral, unethical and illegal actions.”

“Despite the injustice. Despite the fear. Despite the pressure. Despite the unbearable lack of humanity. Our kids are soaring,” Carvalho said. “And for the second year in a row, these students have provided best-in-class achievement across all grade levels.”

Carvalho came to the United States as an undocumented immigrant himself and has been passionate about protecting students from ICE agents’ visits to city schools.

He was a former longtime superintendent for Miami-Dade County Public Schools before coming to LA, and the FBI is also searching another location in Miami tied to the investigation.LA students have recently protested ICE’s actions. Teens walked out of school, burned flags, vandalized buildings and one even swung a pipe at officers earlier this month.

School officials have said students are “dealing and engaging with issues” in the news and community.

“The superintendent’s message is consistent: We care deeply about our students, and we recognize that many young people are dealing and engaging with issues they see in the news and in their community,” district public information officer Christine Stephens told the Los Angeles Times. “Students have the right to express themselves peacefully. At the same time, the district must uphold its responsibility to maintain a safe, supervised learning environment during the school day.”

LA cops have taken a more disciplinarian stance on the student walkouts.

“School attendance is mandatory in the City of Los Angeles and there may be legal consequences for parents and students,” the LAPD wrote. “It is unlawful for any minors under 18 to be in public places, streets, or amusement spots during school hours.”

He was a former longtime superintendent for Miami-Dade County Public Schools before coming to LA.
