Hundreds of students skipped class Tuesday morning at Walt Whitman High School to protest the tactics of federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, one of whom shot activist Renee Good to death in Minneapolis earlier this month.

Viraaj Raofield, 18, a senior at the Bethesda campus, said he skipped class because ICE agents are acting with impunity in Minneapolis and throughout the nation, trampling on the rights of undocumented residents and American citizens alike.

“ICE has murdered individuals and is deporting individuals without due process and is fostering fear in communities across the United States — and it needs to stop," Raofield said.

Students from other schools in Montgomery County — including Takoma Park Middle School — also organized walkouts Tuesday, which marks one year since President Donald Trump’s second-term inauguration.

At Whitman, students gathered outside in temperatures that hovered in the low-20s. Some held signs. “Justice for Good,” one read. “I’m here for those who have to hide,” read another.

Evan Schwartz, 17, a junior and one of the organizers of the Whitman walkout, said students wanted school administrators’ assurances that they would not cooperate with ICE.

Student protesters also demanded that schools host assemblies to inform students of their rights when confronted by local and federal law enforcement.

The school system has procedures in place in case federal immigration agents set foot on district campuses, a Montgomery County Public Schools’ spokesperson told The Banner Tuesday in an email. Among other measures, she said, the schools verify agents’ identities and call on district’s legal counsel for guidance.

Their absence during fifth period would not be excused, the students said.

Mariana Spensley-Aguirre, 15, a Latina U.S. citizen, gave interviews to reporters across the street from the high school in English and Spanish. She said she’s had difficult conversations with her family about how to stay safe.

“I’m super worried for myself, for my mom, for my family, for my community,” she said. “Do I have to carry an ID around that says I’m a citizen?”

She said she wonders if she’s more at risk when she’s speaking Spanish with friends.

“What does that do for democracy if we’re changing who we hang out with, if we’re reconsidering what language we’re speaking or what we’re saying in order to feel safe?”

Neither ICE, nor the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE, could immediately be reached for comment.

Also on Tuesday, two Montgomery County Council members introduced bills to curb ICE. One, from Kristin Mink, who represents District 5, requires a judicial warrant to allow its agents to enter areas not open to the general public, and also signs barring ICE from those areas.

The other, from at-large council member Will Jawando, prohibits law enforcement, including members of ICE, from wearing masks — except when necessary to protect public health.

And last week, the council held a hearing on a bill, supported by all 11 members, to make it harder for federal immigration agents to detain and deport county residents.
