Students walk out over immigration arrests

The latest: Students in Beaverton, Hillsboro and Forest Grove walked out of classes on Monday, into torrential downpours, to protest what they said was unfair targeting of immigrants in their communities.

Zoom in: Several communities have declared a state of emergency over ICE enforcement in Washington County.

• That comes after a series of high-profile incidents, including federal agents pulling guns on a carload of students in Hillsboro and a McMinnville teen who had his car window smashed before he was arrested and held for several hours despite being a U.S. citizen.

Zoom out: Of the nearly 375 arrests tracked across the state by the Portland Immigrant Rights Coalition in November, 130 occurred in Washington County, per OPB.

What they're saying: "Hearing all the stories about people who came here for a better life being taken back because of the color of their skin or the language they speak, it is just so unfair," Adrian Juc de Leon, a junior at Beaverton's Southridge High School, told the Oregonian.
