Minneapolis live updates: Homeland Security officers now being issued a body-worn camera, Noem says<\/a><\/p>\n“If you are a minority, you are a target. If you stand up to them, you are a target. They don’t abide by the Constitution, and they don’t abide by the law,” Guzman said. “This is our chance to elect people that are for the people, that fight for the people, not those who fight for who donate the most money.”<\/p>\n
And while the walkout and rally were student-led, they had the support of several elected officials, including Ald. Andre Vasquez.<\/p>\n
“I want to thank you all for having the courage a lot of adults don’t have. You all are out here. You organize this whole thing. This is all done by the students to make sure their voices are heard and to call out people who don’t have the courage enough to say that ICE should be abolished and gone, period,” Vasquez said.<\/p>\n
Many of the students rallied against ICE for more than two hours.<\/p>\n
“When you see something wrong, something unjust, we have the moral obligation to do something about it,” said Mather High School student Benart Babatinca.<\/p>\n
And though it is done now, those who are 18 told ABC7 that their next move is to make their voices heard at the polls, referencing the upcoming March 17 primary election.<\/p>\n
