At least five teenagers were arrested after students and police clashed during an anti-ICE protest in Quakertown, Pennsylvania, investigators said. On Friday, Feb. 20, students at Quakertown Community High School walked out of class as part of a planned protest against the actions of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Quakertown police responded to 5th and Broad streets in Quakertown around 11:35 a.m. as around 50 students marched in the area. Police said they warned the students to stay out of traffic. As the protest reached East Broad Street, some of the students began throwing snowballs at vehicles, kicking cars and damaging property, according to police. Police said they warned the protesters to remain civil at that point. The protest then continued to Front and Juniper streets where the students blocked traffic and jumped in front of vehicles, police said. More officers were called to the scene and the students clashed with police, according to investigators. Dr. Jason Magditch, the House Principal of Quakertown Community High School, eventually announced the protest had been canceled. “While we respect students’ rights to express their views, our first priority is to ensure a safe and secure environment for all,” Dr. Magditch wrote in a letter to students, staff and families. “At this time, we believe canceling the protest is the most appropriate course of action in the interest of student safety and well-being.” Videos circulating on social media show confrontations between the students and police officers. Another video shows a student being led away in handcuffs. Police said five to six teenagers and one adult were taken into custody. They continue to investigate and said there could be more arrests.
