NYC Students Slated to Walk Out Today in Protest Against Trump

HeadlineFeb 07, 2017

And here in New York City, high school and college students are planning a walk out today to protest President Trump and his executive order seeking to ban people from seven majority-Muslim nations from entering the United States. It’s the latest in a series of student walkouts and protests nationwide to oppose Trump’s immigration crackdown. In recent weeks, students have also held mass demonstrations demanding their universities become “sanctuary campuses”—calling on their administrations to refuse to cooperate with Trump’s plans to speed up deportations.
