Montgomery Blair High School students organize walkout to support deported classmate
MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Md. (DC News Now) – Students at Montgomery Blair High School say they're looking for justice for a classmate whom U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) took into custody. They walked out of class to send the message. 'It's a huge shock to the whole Blair community,' Montgomery Blair High School student Alex Gomez-Ordonez said. 'This is an outrage because why are you deporting students. The students have the right to stay. They're trying their best for their future to have an education, and it's very wrong for them to be deported.' Students marched on the bus loop in front of the school for nearly an hour, chanting and holding signs. 'Even though it was just one person,' Montgomery Blair High School student Elaneth Camilo said, 'I feel like we should all get together and try to help out as much as we can and spread awareness.' Camilo says being part of the protest was extremely important for her. 'I have family that is not from here and they've worked so hard to get over here,' she said, 'I think that it would just be a shame if they all just got deported after all their hard work and everything that they have sacrificed and gone through.' Several community members were also at the demonstration. 'We're supposed to have due process in this country, right?' Sue Wheaton said. 'For everybody. So, I think what's going on in this country now is inhumane and cruel, and against American values.' According to the Washington Post, the student was arrested off school property. People at Thursday's walkout declined to give information to protect the student's identity. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
