OCEANSIDE, Calif. (KSWB/KUSI) — The Oceanside Unified School District is stepping up efforts to reassure families their children are safe on campus following an immigration raid near an elementary school in Encinitas this week.

Some families have expressed fear about sending their kids to school after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents detained a father just blocks away from a school on Wednesday.

To ease concerns, Oceanside schools have deployed a team of social workers to connect directly with families, offering workshops, resources and what district leaders call “safe spaces” on campuses.

“Everyone is being impacted. I consider everyone my neighbor, and I wouldn’t want anyone who is my neighbor experiencing this,” said Cynthia Hernandez, a district social worker.
