In the video, several marked and unmarked Customs and Border Protection vehicles can be seen pulling into the parking lot as several apparently armed agents got out of the vehicles.

School officials in Pico Rivera are calling for a federal investigation after immigration enforcement officers were seen on surveillance video appearing to urinate in the campus parking lot.

The incident happened on the morning of June 17, at Ruben Salazar High School in Pico Rivera. The El Rancho Unified School District shared surveillance video from the school parking lot on YouTube on Wednesday.

Over the next few minutes, nearly a dozen agents are seen walking to a part of the parking lot, near a couple of shipping containers. The agents seem to reach for their pants while walking to covered areas, stand still for several moments, then walk away. The district says school staff saw the agents peeing.

ICE agents exposed themselves to staff in a parking lot next to a preschool playground and an in-session elementary school. These agents need to be identified and prosecuted just like anyone else would be in such circumstances.

Doing this would get a person on the sex offender registry in my state.

"This matter is under investigation," the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said in a statement.

"We've investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing."

[–] shadowedcross@sh.itjust.works 23 points 15 hours ago

It's always the ones you most expect.

Daily reminder to all ICE agents. By signing up for ICE, you have signed yourself up for a lifetime of fear and criminal liability. There are Nazi concentration camp guards that were tried for their crimes in their 90s. There is no statute of limitations on crimes against humanity. Your names are recorded; your deeds are known. And you will face justice for your crimes. And do not count on a blanket pardon saving you. Crimes against humanity are violations of international law that cannot be pardoned.

I don't think there are any ICE agents on Lemmy, nor do I think they're the kind of people who think about consequences.

[–] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 3 points 14 hours ago

Unfortunately there are some users on Lemmy very ready to see ICE's new budget justify political deportations. But yeah, I don't think any of them would have any cognitive dissonance about it.

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

Is this at a high school or a preschool?

Also how is it "alleged" if there's literally photo and video proof right in front of me?

[–] apex32@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago

I believe reporters could get sued if they state that someone committed a crime before they are found guilty, even when it's very clear they did it.

[–] Boddhisatva@lemmy.world 7 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

It is a high school next to an elementary school with a playground for preschoolers. The video shows the men walking up to the containers and apparently urinating, but you cannot specifically see that that is what they are doing. The staff at the school however did see that they were urinating.

I mean outside of how pissing outside on a school would land any of us on a list...how absolutely disrespectful and unprofessional for a public servant to piss outside at a school during the school day.

That's not how to conduct yourself in society....it's how I imagine a bunch of disrespectful soldiers might treat the citizens of an invaded country they look down on.

[–] unmagical@lemmy.ml 154 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

So that's a registry worthy crime, right?

[–] plantfanatic@sh.itjust.works 54 points 21 hours ago (6 children)

Peeing in public gets you put on the sex offender list? The fuck kinda laws is that haha.

[–] Showroom7561@lemmy.ca 80 points 21 hours ago (11 children)

"ICE agents unlawfully trespassed ERUSD school grounds and did not exercise sound and respectful judgment with the risk of exposing themselves to minors and committing a public offense under California law."

Yeah, they should be in a registry, and lose their jobs. Anything less would be special treatment and a double-standard, since they were clearly breaking multiple laws.

Welcome to the USA!

[–] nondescripthandle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 25 points 21 hours ago (6 children)

If he's at a school then yes that's exact how the law works.

[–] Darleys_Brew@lemmy.ml 3 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

Even if there are no kids there?

[–] halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago

Quite often yes. Because the laws don't usually specify anything about time of day or school activity, just location. Peeing on the fence at 230 am at the school down the street from the dozens of downtown bars? Sex offender registry. Clearly you're a pervert. And many State registries do little to differentiate severity or disclosing types of offenses, so that drunk guy pissing on the fence will be listed right alongside the church pastor that forcibly raped several dozen children.

This one I'm not sure on, but if it's during school hours or daylight I'm pretty sure yes. If it's like the middle of the night I think it's less clear, but each of the 50 states each have their own laws so no idea then. I'd wager yeah they could still charge you for that and leave it up to the court.

I actually went to high school in Michigan and one of my classmates almost got on the list for mooning some girls from the back window of a friends car on the parking lot. His parents paid a shit ton for lawyers to make it go away otherwise he wouldn‘t have been able to go to College.

The mooning in question was him exposing maybe the top 2 inches of his buttcrack, no spreading his cheeks or showing any male sex organs.

I've heard getting caught peeing in the woods in the middle of the night in some places can get you on the list

I've never been in the USA, but my cousin lives there, so she had legal practice connected to softening terms or whatever, I don't remember, for such sex offenders.

Say, there was a story when a guy decided to take a shit on the car of someone who insulted him, and didn't see that there was a kid in that car. So the intended offense was much less than what, eh, he actually got.

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

For these HEROES? Paid vacation until the public forgets. And maybe a promotion afterward. Ohh, and don't forget backpay.

[–] nthavoc@lemmy.today 3 points 11 hours ago

That is a lot of white panel vans pulling into a school.

[–] j0ester@lemmy.world 17 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I’m sure both those ICE Agents will be promoted.

[–] SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 16 hours ago

At the least, suspended with pay while an internal investigation finds no wrongdoing.

[–] anon_8675309@lemmy.world 13 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Pedos exposing themselves.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 15 hours ago

In this case I think it might just be complete disdain for basic human dignity.

[–] El_guapazo@lemmy.world 47 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

If anyone else did this, they'd be labeled as a pedophile and prosecuted for indecent exposure/public urination. Especially for doing it on campus, and in possible view of small children

Get em all on the sex offender registry

[–] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 34 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

there's no way some of them (or lots of them) aren't already on it

[–] jimjam5@lemmy.world 12 points 19 hours ago

I wouldn’t be surprised to learn if they use the sex offender registry to recruit for ICE

[–] nkat2112@sh.itjust.works 21 points 22 hours ago

I hope these ICE agents, who were undeniably illegally urinating on school property, get what they deserve. This is absolutely disgusting and unacceptable.

[–] NoForwardslashS@sopuli.xyz 20 points 21 hours ago

Literally acting like feral dogs.

[–] frustrated_phagocytosis@fedia.io 15 points 21 hours ago

A 10 year old black boy in Mississippi was arrested and prosecuted for doing that behind the car while his mother was at an appointment

[–] AmidFuror@fedia.io 12 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

I'm surprised they didn't break into the library to do that to a copy of the Constitution.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 4 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

They prefer pissing and shitting on the real thing.

[–] BrianTheeBiscuiteer@lemmy.world 12 points 22 hours ago

Get some samples and send it off to a lab or one of those DNA Family Tree sites.

[–] Bonus@lemmy.world 5 points 21 hours ago

The Thuggishness Is The Point

[–] rottingleaf@lemmy.world 2 points 22 hours ago

... and the rock cried out "no hiding place" ...

Sorry, this is just funny.
