High schoolers in numerous blue cities around the country have regularly been playing hooky, preferring to attend anti-ICE protests rather than focus on their education. Not surprisingly, the data show that many of these so-called learning institutions have disastrous academic records.
The kids don’t need to worry about consequences, though — all too often, the teachers and administrators are egging them on and skipping school themselves to join in the fun.
Our teachers' unions should be so proud.
On Friday, it was Los Angeles that got hit as hundreds of students left campus and headed downtown to create a little mayhem:
What began as a peaceful march and rally against federal immigration raids escalated into an altercation between federal police and students in downtown Los Angeles on Friday afternoon.
Police called for additional backup at the Metropolitan Detention Center as tensions rose.
Sky5 was over the scene at about 1:30 p.m., where items were seen being thrown toward officers and some shoving occurred. Police moved in to push back the crowd.

Similar demonstrations have been reported in multiple cities across the country, with participants calling for changes to federal immigration enforcement.
Anti-ICE protests have become increasingly common since the Trump administration started trying to clean up the disastrous illegal immigrant mess that former President Joe Biden thrust upon this country. This latest action, led mostly by teenagers, mind you, took a dark turn:
The students’ march started at City Hall, blocking traffic on Spring Street, police said.
The protest overwhelmed streets in the area, moving across First Street and Main Street.
On Los Angeles Street, demonstrators engaged in vandalism, according to police.
Agitators then engaged in more vandalism on Alameda Street before attacking federal agents there, according to police.

At least one law enforcement agent suffered injuries. During the melee, a “peaceful protester” started waving a pole at an officer, striking him in the head twice. It’s not clear if that’s the one who officially reported as hurt.
First Assistant United States Attorney for the Central District of California Bill Essayli expressed his disgust on X Friday evening, and vowed they would track down violent offenders.
Where are the parents? We will arrest and charge anyone who assaults an agent, minors included. https://t.co/tbYgJ74oZn— F.A. United States Attorney Bill Essayli (@USAttyEssayli) February 13, 2026
“Where are the parents?” he asked. Unfortunately, they’re probably out protesting somewhere too.
That’s what blue state governors and mayors have brought us: a culture of permanent protest. The adults (and the conservatives) should ignore the noise and keep on doing what’s right to fix America.
Minutes ago (as of 11:00 p.m. EST Friday), Essayli announced that he’s surging officers into DTLA. Good:
Based on the increased violence targeting federal law enforcement, we are surging officers to our downtown Los Angeles buildings. I have directed them to make arrests on the spot for anyone committing a crime, regardless of whether they are an adult or a teenager. If arrested, you will spend the weekend in a federal detention facility. We have plenty of bed space.

Children of illegals are illegals themselves, don’t care what the law says or if they were born here, just de-naturalize and deport them

The people in the protest are not Americans, they are Mexicans, that think they want LA back.
Give them their sewer back.
There is nothing there of any value except the harbor.

Not a very kid or family oriented place,
but a good working harbor.
Arrest both their parents, their teachers, and the school principles.
Exactly!
Pronto.
