"Holding signs that read No one is illegal on stolen land, Ice out of the Bay, and We are skipping our lessons to teach you one, scores of students from Deer Valley High School, Dozier-Libbey Medical High School, Antioch High School, and several middle schools left their campuses around noon to rally in opposition of actions by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement under the direction of President Donald Trump."
"Chanting No fear, no hate, no ICE in our state and No ICE, students from Deer Valley and Dozier-Libbey marched together on Sagebrush Drive, heading toward Walmart on Lone Tree Way and Hillcrest Avenue. They then made their way back to Deer Valley High School and walked toward Deer Valley Road. Vehicles passing by honked in solidarity, some with the Mexican flag waving along."
"Williams' friend, Miriam Patterson, said she was fighting for what she believed was right. Patterson was against the reported detention of children and others by federal agents without due process. I don't think ICE should be charging children, mothers, fathers, and people in general because they are mostly not criminals, they are innocent civilians, said Patterson. They just detain you for the color of your skin. I don't agree with that."
Hundreds of Antioch middle and high school students walked out of their campuses around noon to protest nationwide immigration crackdowns and actions by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement under the Trump administration. Students from Deer Valley, Dozier-Libbey Medical, Antioch High and several middle schools marched together carrying signs and chanting No fear, no hate, no ICE in our state. The march covered Sagebrush Drive, Lone Tree Way and Deer Valley Road, with passing vehicles honking in solidarity. Participants cited social media organization, Hispanic community advocacy, opposition to detentions without due process, and concern for detained children and families.
