Students protest as high school senior, in U.S. since he was a toddler, faces deportation
1 / 6From left to right, Marcell Ibarra, 18, Daffne Anselmo, 16, and Jamilet Fragoso, 16, comfort each other after talking about their close friend Thomas Torres, a Desert View High School student who was taken into custody on May 2 by Border Patrol after a traffic stop by a Pima County Sheriff's Department deputy in Tucson, Ariz., Monday, May 6, 2019. The students chanted, held a news conference and then were bussed back to school.
Torres' detention, coming shortly before a major rite of passage in the only country he remembers, is a stark example of the Trump administration's crackdown on illegal immigration. Torres played on the Desert View High School football team and regularly worked several jobs, including busing tables at a restaurant and yardwork, friends said.
"Thomas is the American Dream," said one of the many homemade signs carried by students protesting outside the sheriff's office. Other signs read,"Abolish the Border Patrol" and"Without Justice, There is No Peace."
