Oakland, CA – November 19, 2025 – A West Oakland elementary school and nearby preschool were briefly placed on lockdown Wednesday morning after confirmed reports of federal immigration enforcement activity in the surrounding neighborhood. Officials from the Oakland Unified School District said Hoover Elementary School on Brockhurst Street, along with the adjacent Harriet Tubman Preschool, activated their “secure school protocol” sometime between 9 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. The decision followed reports that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were knocking on doors in the area.

Several Oakland schools went into lockdown earlier this week after reports surfaced of federal immigration activity in nearby neighborhoods. According to local officials, schools took immediate safety precautions after receiving alerts that immigration authorities might be present in the area. Administrators restricted campus access, secured classrooms, and ensured students and staff remained safely indoors until the situation was deemed stable.
