High school students in Downey staged a walkout at 12 p.m. Thursday to protest against President Donald Trump's crackdown on illegal immigration.
The students walked to Downey City Hall, escorted by local police. The walkout – organized by Rally the Youth – calls for students to use their voice. Over the last week, multiple high schools across Los Angeles have staged walkouts.
Hundreds of demonstrators also protested earlier this week in downtown L.A., prompting traffic delays in the area.
In an interview last month, Trump called illegal immigration "an invasion of our country," and vowed to carry out his deportation plans regardless of cost.
"It's not a question of a price tag," Trump told NBC News shortly after his election. "It's not -- really, we have no choice. When people have killed and murdered, when drug lords have destroyed countries, and now they're going to go back to those countries because they're not staying here. There is no price tag."
Trump insisted that voters -- including Latinos -- support his call for legal immigration only.
"They want to have borders," Trump said. "And they like people coming in, but they have to come in with love for the country. They have to come in legally."
