January 13, 2026 4:00 AMHundreds of Twin Cities high school students walked out of school Monday to protest federal immigration enforcement in Minnesota, and some school leaders in the region are increasingly concerned about high absenteeism with families fearing being caught up in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations.
An estimated 500 high school students walked out of Roseville High School Monday morning, walking from their school, around the parking lot and onto a bridge over Minnesota Highway 36 in Roseville.
Good for them, turning their natural instinct to play hooky into a legitimate political statement. Support for too many kids who can’t come to school in the first place because they’re hiding from ICE. And for the people (immigrants and citizens alike) who have been injured, kidnapped and/or killed by ICE, Border Patrol and DHS.
