A police presence is seen at Santa Ana High School this morning. Officers were staged at area schools to prevent students from leaving campus.
Police across Orange County reported that all seemed quiet in schools where student walkouts were staged earlier this week in protest of the immigration bill pending in Congress. The situation in Santa Ana, where thousands of students left school and demonstrated Monday, was close to normal. Police were staged at high schools in case there was a repeat of incidents Tuesday, when students tried to climb fences to leave school grounds.
Spanish-language broadcast stations were reportedly featuring Mexican-American community leaders advising the youngsters to return to classes.
