ICE Detains 2 Detroit High Schoolers; Clark Park Protest Demands School Action

Students, teachers and community allies rallied at Detroit’s Clark Park after ICE detained two Western International High School classmates and transferred them to a detention facility. Protesters urged Detroit Public Schools Community District leaders to bolster safety, communication and support for immigrant students and families. Organizers tied the detention to a recent cluster of ICE actions affecting school communities, saying fear and absenteeism are rising. The district was pressed for concrete steps including staff training and expanded counseling.
