When Riverhead High School student Oliver Earl spearheaded a school walkout, he joined a surge of youth activists opposing President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown.

Surrounded by his peers at the rally, he recalled telling them, “Is this not a country for my friends? They have liberty too.”

Riverhead High School students are not the only young people calling for change. Walkouts at high schools across the country and on Long Island have ramped up in recent weeks, with students protesting the tactics of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.
