Scenes from a student-led anti-ICE demonstration in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, February 3, 2026. The demonstration began with a scheduled walk-out from classes.
A local news article quoted one of the leaders, high school senior Lyla Caldwell:
“I’ve seen that ICE is going into schools and waiting outside of schools to take teenagers,” Caldwell said. “If they’re going to make it the place, we’re going to make it the place. It’s wrong.”
Judging by the number of passing drivers who honked and waved, community support seemed to be strong. I overheard one woman say, I think approvingly, "They seem to be having a good time." And they were — for a good cause.
