San Diego High School Lifts Suspension for Student Who Distributed Pro-ICE Flyers
More than 300 anti-ICE walkouts have taken place nationwide in 2026, and free-speech advocates say the suspension raises viewpoint-discrimination concerns.
- On Wednesday, Torrey Pines High School in San Diego expunged a student's suspension for posting pro-ICE flyers after the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression intervened on his behalf.
- School officials suspended the junior in February, claiming his poster reading "We I.C.E. — Real Americans" constituted "harassment" and "intimidation," despite placement in a common area where students routinely post political material.
- Two weeks earlier, students participated in a school-sanctioned walkout carrying anti-ICE posters with messages including "FUCK ICE" and "ICE is KKK spelled differently," facing no disciplinary consequences.
- FIRE Supervising Senior Attorney Conor Fitzpatrick stated, "School administrators can't pick and choose which opinions students are allowed to express." Principal Rob Coppo resigned earlier this month following backlash.
- The expungement reinforces First Amendment protections for non-disruptive student speech in public schools, with FIRE pledging to monitor the district to ensure continued respect for students' constitutional rights.
