Local teens brave the rain to protest immigration legislation in Whittier, California

“A steady downpour Tuesday did not dampen walkouts by hundreds of local high school students, who took to the streets for a third day of protests over pending anti-immigration legislation.

Far fewer students in Whittier and Pico Rivera opted to walk out of classes Tuesday than did on Monday. However, police said one California High School student was arrested on suspicion of vandalism after officers spotted him writing on a street sign.”
