Approximately 200 students from multiple Clovis Unified schools walked out of their campuses on Tuesday to protest ICE enforcement and President Trump’s mass deportation agenda. Tuesday morning, students from Clovis High, Clovis East High and Clark Intermediate School walked out of their campuses at around 8:45 a.m. and marched to the intersection of Clovis Avenue and Shaw Avenue. They held signs such as “ICE is for soda, not for Minnesota,” “Liberty and justice for all,” and “Education not deportation.” For more than three hours, students chanted, “What we want? ICE out,” and waved their banners to the passing vehicles. Many drivers, especially those in large trucks, honked or gave thumbs-up from their windows in support of the students. Tuesday’s walkout marks the first large-scale student protest in the Clovis Unified School District in recent years. A school district known for its rigorous standards, Clovis Unified has seen little student activism compared to neighboring districts. #clovis #walkout #protests
