"They said that we could be suspended. They said, that we had communication with them a lot, and they ended up somewhat coming around to a decision that if we stay with their rules of staying on school grounds and staying on the sidewalks that we could do it. But before they gave us permission, we still knew that things have to be done at the end of the day."

STORYLINE:
Students at a school in Suwanee, Georgia walked out of class Friday, chanting and protesting in opposition to recent ICE activities across the nation.

Protesters across the U.S. are calling for “no work, no school, no shopping” as part of a nationwide strike on Friday to oppose the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown.

The demonstrations are taking place amid widespread outrage over the killing of Alex Pretti, an intensive care unit nurse who was shot multiple times after he used his cellphone to record Border Patrol officers conducting an immigration enforcement operation in Minneapolis.

The death heightened scrutiny over the administration’s tactics after the Jan. 7 death of Renee Good, who was fatally shot behind the wheel of her vehicle by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer.
