Immigration Enforcement Near Schools Press Conference

San Diego Unified School District held a press conference on October 15, 2026, with Superintendent, Senator Adam Schiff, and members of Congress to address immigration enforcement near schools. Speakers said enforcement activity was creating fear among students and families and disrupting attendance and student well-being. They called for federal authorities to avoid schools and other sensitive locations and discussed proposed legislation, including the Protecting Sensitive Locations Act, as well as oversight and possible use of the budget process to limit funding for enforcement actions. No procurement activity, contract decisions, or spending votes were identified.

The speakers also answered questions about a family detained near Marshall Elementary School and expressed concerns about election security and potential voter intimidation. No motions or votes were taken at the press conference.
