Students from the San Antonio Independent School District (SAISD) are holding a walkout today to protest the potential threat of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids and policies from the Trump administration, such as efforts to revoke birthright citizenship. At 12:55 p.m., students will leave their classrooms and gather at Yanaguana Garden to meet with peers from other schools and community members. They plan to march to City Hall at 3 p.m. for a peaceful protest, as reported by Fox San Antonio.

The district has informed students that participating in the walkout may lead to disciplinary consequences, as leaving campus without permission is considered a Level 2 offense under the student code of conduct. Penalties will be determined by individual principals. While the district supports students' right to peaceful protest, it advises that such actions occur on school grounds during lunch, before school, or after classes have ended, a position outlined in a recent statement and further elaborated by Fox San Antonio.

In addition to the walkout in San Antonio, the 50501 movement is organizing national protests on Wednesday, aiming to hold 50 protests across all 50 states on the same day. Events are scheduled in Austin at the Texas Capitol and at El Paso's San Jacinto Plaza, among other locations. The protests are intended to address concerns about current immigration enforcement tactics, with the efforts being documented by San Antonio Current.

Organizers of the SAISD walkout have outlined their demands, which include ensuring schools are protected from external threats, keeping firearms out of educational spaces, and preventing immigration officers from entering school grounds. They are calling for community support as they gather outside City Hall, with the goal of raising awareness about the impact of immigration policies on students and families within the district, as shared by San Antonio Current.
