Congresswoman Claims ICE 'Kidnapped' Three Parents Outside Elementary School

Rep. Luz Rivas is the sponsor of the Protecting Sensitive Locations Act, which would prohibit ICE operations within 1,000 feet of schools, churches, and hospitals. She shares that just this week, three parents were "kidnapped" by ICE in front of Van Nuys Elementary School. Of course, the legislation prohibiting ICE from operating near schools and hospitals isn't her end game … she concludes by saying that ICE needs to be abolished. So why screw around with the Protecting Sensitive Locations Act? 

Yesterday, ICE kidnapped 3 parents outside of Van Nuys Elementary School. Families and students should feel safe at school, not fearful that ICE will tear their family apart. ICE needs to get out of L.A. for good, and must be abolished. https://t.co/u0ltWEPyKT

One question … are the parents here illegally?

@RepLuzRivas Damn. This is one of the most epic ratios I have ever seen on here 😂

@RepLuzRivas It’s not kidnapping. It’s deporting. Hope this helps.

@RepLuzRivas Deporting isn’t kidnapping.

@RepLuzRivas By kidnapped do you mean arrested illegal aliens who broke our laws?

@RepLuzRivas Sad that the parents would do that to their kids by being here illegally. Blame them and blame yourself for giving them false hope.

@RepLuzRivas Are they holding the parents for ransom since they kidnapped them . . .

@RepLuzRivas ICE does not “kidnap” people. They enforce federal law. You’re a federal lawmaker. You support violators of federal laws you don’t like. Really weird.

@RepLuzRivas Illegal aliens should always be worried they will get arrested and deported. They are in the USA illegally. That is a crime All must go Millions of them need to be deported They know the risk Let them worry and be fearful of arrest and consequences https://t.co/1ccdehcEmK

@RepLuzRivas 3 illegal aliens were gifted a taxpayer subsidized flight back to their country of origin.

@RepLuzRivas So sick of you performative idiots calling arresting illegals kidnapping. Were you elected to represent Americans or illegals because it's impossible to tell.

@RepLuzRivas California prisons are full of citizens who also are parents.

@RepLuzRivas That’s not kidnapping and making a statement like that makes anything else you say irrelevant

@RepLuzRivas Lady , no one is being kidnapped. Self deportation is always an option

— 504girl ⚜️ (@504CNM) October 22, 2026

@RepLuzRivas Illegal aliens should self-deport to avoid this from happening to them.

@RepLuzRivas Sorry lady. We had a referendum on you Democrats flooding our country with over 10 million unvetted illegals during the 4 years of Biden in order to replace us as voters. Americans elected the guy that promised mass deportations. That's how democracy works.

@RepLuzRivas ICE is exactly where they need to be and doing the job they were hired to do. All illegals should self deport or face the consequences.

@RepLuzRivas Why are my tax dollars being used to teach illegal immigrants?

— Garbear (@GaryAndersbm7a) October 22, 2026

@RepLuzRivas They were not kidnapped. Illegally entering our country and then having children here to abuse birthright citizenship and create anchor children is their fault. You encouraging people to hide, obstruct and assault ICE is your fault. ICE is doing their job.

Why were churches not a Protected Sensitive Location when Don Lemon and his goons stormed a church service to protest ICE?

Using the term "kidnapped" invalidates every other word of the post.
