Report: Minnesota student walkouts received training from progressive activists
Hundreds of Minnesota students walked out to protest ICE presence with training and support from the Sunrise Movement, raising concerns about lost academic time, Defending Education said.
- In mid-January, hundreds of high school students from St. Paul walked out to protest Immigration and Customs Enforcement, as Defending Education published a report linking the Sunrise Movement to the protests.
- Defending Education says group chats and training documents guided student organizers, with materials from Sunrise Movement members showing training timelines and recruitment for Twin Cities Student ICE Response group, Rhyen Staley said.
- Defending Education identified one Sunrise Movement member as a Brown University student with past encampment ties, and the Sunrise Movement did not respond to The Center Square's requests for comment.
- Defending Education said the walkouts risk student safety and cut instructional time, affecting Minnesota students and families, while Rhyen Staley urged that `The school to activist pipeline must come to an end.`
- Rhyen Staley framed the protests as part of a larger leftwing movement, and Defending Education describes itself as a nonprofit countering harmful agendas while the Sunrise Movement did not respond to comment requests.
