Booker T. Students Protest ICE, Abbott
Students across North Texas have walked out over the actions of ICE. This week, that included two of Dallas ISD's most prestigious magnet schools.
The lunch bell rang, and students at Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts picked up their signs, left their historic campus, and marched to the Arts District to protest ICE actions. The nationally recognized magnet school was one of many high schools across the state that recently staged walkouts to draw attention to widely reported actions by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers.
The large group of students marched through the Arts District before heading to Klyde Warren Park. At times, some would leave when their lunch periods ended, always in groups for safety. A couple of hours later, a few students remained, staging what appeared to be a sit-in at the park.
