Texas Attorney General Investigates School Districts Over Student Protests Against ICE
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has initiated investigations into several school districts in response to student-led protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). This follows a series of walkouts organized by students from multiple districts, including North East ISD, Dallas ISD, and Round Rock ISD. Despite warnings from state officials, students continue to stage demonstrations, asserting their First Amendment rights. The investigations focus on allegations that the districts facilitated or did not adequately address the protests. Public discourse surrounding these events highlights tensions between student freedoms and state educational policies, with community reactions split on the appropriateness and safety of the protests.
