Apparently the kids arrested aren’t being released until Monday. That's punitive and disproportionate. CALL Bucks County Youth Center, Youth Detention Center 215-340-8300 You will likely be routed to a voicemail. LEAVE A MESSAGE! Demand: Immediate release of all detained students TODAY!
RELEASE THE QUAKERTOWN STUDENTS!
Quakertown HS students conducted an act of peaceful civil disobedience by walking out of school to protest ICE yesterday. They appear to have been aggressively assaulted by a man in plain clothes, later identified as Chief of Police.
