NYC Students Slated to Walk Out Today in Protest Against Trump
--------------------------------------------------------------

And here in New York City, high school and college students are planning
a walk out today to protest President Trump and his executive order
seeking to ban people from seven majority-Muslim nations from entering
the United States. It's the latest in a series of student walkouts and
protests nationwide to oppose Trump's immigration crackdown. In recent
weeks, students have also held mass demonstrations demanding their
universities become "sanctuary campuses"-calling on their
administrations to refuse to cooperate with Trump's plans to speed up
deportations.
