While President Trump prepares to deliver on his mandate to secure America's borders, radical leftist groups are now stooping to a new low: using children as political pawns to obstruct immigration enforcement.

According to exclusive reporting from the Washington Examiner, liberal activist organizations including the environmental group Sunrise Movement and Latino advocacy nonprofit UNIDOS are actively organizing Minneapolis high school students to protest against Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations.

The scheme involves coordinating student walkouts during school hours, with protests planned for Friday and another demonstration scheduled for Tuesday, January 27th. These aren't organic student movements – they're carefully orchestrated political operations designed to create chaos and interfere with federal law enforcement.

Weaponizing America's Youth

This represents a dangerous escalation in the left's war against border security. Rather than engage in legitimate political discourse, these groups are manipulating impressionable teenagers and pulling them out of classrooms where they should be learning, not serving as foot soldiers for radical activism.

The timing is no coincidence. With Trump's new administration promising swift action on deportations of criminal illegal aliens, desperate Democrat operatives and their nonprofit allies are scrambling to create any obstacle possible – even if it means exploiting children.

"These activist groups know they can't win this fight through normal political channels, so they're resorting to using kids as human shields," one Minneapolis parent told reporters.

Minnesota, already a sanctuary state under Democrat control, has become ground zero for resistance to Trump's America First immigration policies. But organizing minors to skip school for political protests crosses a dangerous line that should concern every parent in America.

Parents, Wake Up

How many more ways will the radical left find to indoctrinate and exploit our children? From transgender ideology in bathrooms to climate change hysteria, and now using students as anti-ICE protesters – the pattern is clear.

President Trump won decisively on a platform of securing our borders and enforcing immigration law. These activist groups and their child recruits won't stop what's coming – they'll only expose themselves as the extremists they truly are.

The question every Minneapolis parent should be asking: what are these radical organizations really teaching your children, and why are they more interested in political theater than education?

SHAMEFUL! These radical activists care more about their political agenda than child welfare.

This is exactly the kind of radical tactics we've been warning about for years. They'll stop at nothing to obstruct legitimate law enforcement operations.

The mainstream media will never cover this story properly. Thank goodness for independent journalism exposing the truth!

I saw something similar happen in my neighborhood last year when ICE was conducting operations. Protesters brought kids and started chanting right in front of them - it was heartbreaking to watch.

That must have been terrible to witness. Those children don't understand what's happening and shouldn't be exposed to that chaos.

ICE agents are just doing their jobs enforcing federal law. Why are these groups making it harder for law enforcement to protect our communities?

As a father of three, this makes my blood boil. No child should be used as a human shield for any cause, period.

Completely agree. Children should be protected, not exploited for political theater.

Does anyone know which specific organizations are behind this? We need to hold them accountable for endangering children.

This is absolutely disgusting! Using innocent children as political pawns is a new low, even for these radical leftist groups.

They have no shame whatsoever. These are the same people who claim to care about children's safety.
