Two elementary schools in Los Angeles denied entry on April 7 to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) investigators checking on the health and safety of illegal immigrant children who arrived across the border alone, according to officials.

A Los Angeles Unified School District spokeswoman declined to tell The Epoch Times why the investigators were turned away and said all visitors must sign in and be authorized before entering a school campus.
