West Michigan students walk out, march in protest of ICE enforcement

Описание: Dozens of students walked out of Grand Rapids Public Museum High School on Wednesday afternoon and marched through downtown to Rosa Parks Circle, protesting federal immigration enforcement and calling for greater awareness of its impact on communities.

The demonstration was organized by students, who said they were motivated in part by immigration-related headlines across the country and wanted their school to show support for the issue.

“We decided to do something because a lot of the other schools last week were having walkouts and our school didn’t do anything, so we decided to organize something so our school could show our support for this issue,” Vera Taft, a junior at Grand Rapids Public Museum High School, said.
