After Border Patrol Arrests Classmate, 200 High School Students Walk Out in Arizona

Around 200 students at Tuscon Arizona’s Desert View High School staged a walkout after fellow student Thomas Torres-Maytorena was detained by Border Patrol. Torres-Maytorena is facing possible deportation just weeks ahead of his graduation date. The students marched four miles from their school to the local sheriff’s office to demand that sheriffs immediately end their collaboration with immigration authorities. The students demand Torres-Maytorena’s immediate release back to his family and friends.
