At least three teens were arrested for assault in Arizona during anti-ICE school walkouts on Friday afternoon. 

Two middle schoolers from Poston Junior High in Mesa were detained after they were seen throwing objects at officers, according to ABC15. One was reportedly booked at the Durango Juvenile Detention Facility, and the other was released with a referral to the Maricopa County Juvenile Court.

Body camera footage from one of the arrests shows an officer pulling up to a girl on his motorcycle and throwing her to the ground to slap the cuffs on as she appears to resist. The video also shows the girl running in the street and throwing the water bottle at the officer as he drives past.

Per Fox, the teen girl faces charges of aggravated assault.

WATCH:

Nationwide walkout protests were held by students and school faculty at Marxist institutions on Friday, and thousands of students from all grade levels participated across Arizona.

Hundreds also marched to the State Capitol to oppose state cooperation with ICE.

A third student was arrested and charged with assault after she reportedly threw a water bottle at a masked counter-protester, who was armed, during a march near Chandler’s Hamilton High School.

The masked man eventually left the area at the request of police, but wanted to press charges after he was attacked. The teen girl is charged with assault and disorderly conduct.

Republican Maricopa County School Superintendent Shelli Boggs released a statement on the string of incidents, condemning the anti-ICE walkouts and the teachers who organized and encouraged students to participate.

“It is neither reasonable nor appropriate for students to walk out of class during the school day to protest federal policies or agencies, including ICE,” Boggs wrote.

“Instructional time is limited and valuable, and walkouts during school hours, regardless of the issue, disrupt learning, undermine classroom stability, and place schools in the middle of political disputes they are not intended to referee.”

“Superintendent Boggs has received numerous calls from parents, school board members, and district leaders across Maricopa County expressing concern about instructional disruption, student safety, and rising tensions on school campuses. Some parents have shared that they are keeping their children home out of concern that students who do not participate in walkouts may be pressured or bullied for their views,” Boggs continued.

His reporting on election crimes in Maricopa County led to the resignation of one election official, and he was later banned from the Maricopa County press room for his courage in pursuit of the truth.
