Beaverton, OR – On Monday, December 8, hundreds of students walked out of class at 10 a.m. in Beaverton School District (BSD) to demand the district take steps to protect students from ICE. This comes after months of ICE activity in Beaverton, including the targeting of school bus stops by ICE agents.

Protests in Beaverton are heating up around what the community describes as a lack of response on behalf of the school district to ensure the safety of students from ICE. Two weeks earlier, parents and students held a protest at the BSD administrative office, where they were kicked off the grounds by police.
