‘I fear for my community’: East San Jose students walk out over immigration raids

EAST SAN JOSE high school students and immigration advocates are protesting recent U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids in San Jose.

Hundreds of students from William C. Overfelt High School in East San Jose participated in a walkout Tuesday and marched to the intersection of Story and King roads, where residents reported seeing ICE agents Sunday. Students carried Mexican flags and signs reading “Immigrants make America great” and “Protect our farmworkers,” while chanting  “Stop the raids, stop the hate.”
