Students at Maryland high school to protest classmate's deportation
Dozens of students at Montgomery Blair High School in Silver Spring — Maryland's largest high school by enrollment — are expected to walk out Thursday to show support for a classmate who they say was recently deported to Guatemala.
The student was not detained on school grounds, according to a letter sent to Blair families from administrators ahead of the demonstration. Organizers of the protest say the student who was deported was a junior at Blair, though multiple people declined to share the student's name or specifics of the situation because of privacy concerns.
