Middle and high school anti-ICE protests have been witnessed across the country, many of them turning violent, but among the chaos, some unsung heroes are emerging.
The protests have become so prolific that the topic is trending at the top of the charts on X. A quick perusal of the trending timeline shows everything from kids being allowed to take to the streets during school hours to scream leftist chants, to a mom proudly making “F**K ICE’ posters with her young child.
🚨 FACT: If you make “F*CK ICE” signs for your children so they can ditch school and protest the arrest of illegal alien r*pists and m*rderers, you’re a horrible parent. pic.twitter.com/Olgg0nrRsT

But it’s not all depressing news. According to a growing number of videos, parents and even some students are fighting back.
Take, for starters, a student who goes by Danny Spud on X. He attended an anti-ICE protest at Lake Zurich High School, a suburb of Chicago, to exercise his right to free speech.
“I was the only one that decided to hold a sign that said ‘I Love ICE’,” he stated on X with video of a disturbing encounter.
“Instead of allowing me to express my opinion, I was assaulted — Just for standing up for law enforcement,” Spud continued.
“What is happening to America?”
Today, students at my high school in Chicago held an Anti-ICE protest.
I was the only one that decided to hold a sign that said ‘I Love ICE’.
Instead of allowing me to express my opinion, I was assaulted — Just for standing up for law enforcement.

What a brave kid! I’d rather stand alone for the right thing than just fit in! His parents should be proud!

Indeed, they should.
Speaking of parents, the trend on X is revealing some of them fighting back, too.

There are too many videos (both good and bad) to list them all, but perhaps one of the most disturbing and telling might be one of a mother attempting to remove her son from a protest, only to be told by him to pound sand.
BREAKING – A Washington state mother catches her 16-year-old son skipping school to protest ICE and when confronted, he refuses to get in the car, walking away saying it’s his “right” and there’s nothing she can do because the school allowed it.
