Students across Iowa took part in the “Free America Walkout” to protest recent actions by ICE agents in Minneapolis.
Almost 200 high schoolers protested outside of North High School in Sioux City Tuesday afternoon.
Junior Raiden Parvu helped organize the gathering.
“Showing that people are together like this will allow a sense of community among everyone here, and I think right now that's vital for the safety of Americans and really anyone, civilian or not,” said Parvu.
The walkout took place on the first anniversary of President Donald Trump's second inauguration.
Other protests were planned for Des Moines, Cedar Rapids, Iowa City, and Grinnell.
