Hundreds of students staged a walkout at several schools across Albuquerque on Tuesday in protest of immigration enforcement under President Donald Trump.
The nationwide "Free America Walkout" saw students at six Albuquerque Public Schools campuses leave their classes, according to a statement from the district. The students walked out at 2 p.m. in protest of recent actions taken by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE.
Students at Manzano, Highland, Sandia, Albuquerque High, Del Norte and Eldorado high schools joined in the walkout.
In an official statement, APS said the district “does not sponsor or encourage walkouts, but we understand that some students felt compelled to take part in today’s national protest.”
APS said school principals reached out to families to let them know about the planned walkout and "encourage them to talk with their children about making safe, respectful choices."
The Women’s March, one of the national organizations behind the walkout, scheduled the event to fall on the one-year anniversary of Donald Trump's second inauguration and urged participants to "walk out to block the normal routines of power and make the stakes real."
In response to the protests, state GOP Chair Amy Barela said in a statement, “The only thing ICE is doing is removing the worst criminals imaginable from our country who happen to be here illegally, thanks to Democrat leadership."
"After one year, the Trump Administration has made undeniable progress combating crime, drugs, illegal immigration, has ended foreign conflicts all around the world, and has made life better in our country,” according to the statement.

The teachers advocated aborting all their potential students, now they need illegal alien students to keep the gravy train rolling.
Lol. Students are happy to walk out for any reason. Only idiots would take this seriously.
At that time, school was practically over for the day!
Not very committed, were they?
Mississippi should hold its head high and proud.
At least Mississippi isn't New Mexico.
bye bye kiddos
The Stupid Party should explain a concept called, “Rule of Law” to the unwashed populace in this country. Add a second concept called swearing an oath to uphold the “Rule of Law.” The conclusion should be obvious.
Illegal alien azhos. They’d do anything to get out of school. The retards aren’t into learing. The teachers don’t GAS, they don’t want to be in the classroom either. Too friggin boring.
Or no reason at all. Well actually we usually had a reason: we wanted to go spearfishing at Laguna Beach.
Whoop-de-doo.
Keep walking south, wetbacks.
Yeah, so..
how many of the students are illegals?
How many of the students are anchor babies and their parents are illegals?
How much tax dollars are spent on their education?
Dear students, thank you for your efforts. Now, could you ask your parents to take in some illegals, to live in your house for their safety? PLEASE!
We used to go out and fight kids from Valley or AHS. I remember when Jesse Jackson came to ABQ in the mid 60’s and got turned around and sent packing. Oh well.
Too bad ICE wasn’t there to scoop them up and one way them back home to Mehecoh.
Deport those illegal ninos.
“Hundreds of Albuquerque students walk out of schools”
Better than the alternative.
