Several students of the North and Maryvale high schools in Phoenix walked out to protest against the Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio.
The U.S. News & World Report shows, over 90 percent of the student population at the both Phoenix high schools are belongs to racial minorities. Most of them are Latino.
Around 200 students of Trevor G. Browne High School in the Maryvale neighborhood and Maryvale High school walked out to participate in a growing population of high-school students protesting Trump and Arpaio.
According to the Phoenix Union High School District communications director, Craig Pletenik, another 750 left but did not make it to the protest at the church Maryvale and North are in the Phoenix Union district.
Arleth Bustillos, 16, is a junior at Maryvale High School, said that, "Trump is deciding to get rid of all immigrants and my dad would have to leave, and I don't want that to happen." "Two of my tíos and a tía (uncles and an aunt) were deported earlier this year," Bustillos said.
"Arpaio and Trump have to go," she said the Maryvale High School freshman. "We don't want Trump and Arpaio to have that power."
