High School Pupils from Gahr and Artesia Hold Demonstration in Opposition to Immigration Enforcement Raids
Peaceful Protest by Local High School Students Against ICE Policies
A group of students from Cerritos Gahr High and Artesia High in Lakewood, California, peacefully protested against ICE immigration policies on February 5, 2025, at 11:10 a.m. The students walked out of class and headed towards the Los Cerritos Center, according to available information.
As of August 17, 2025, there are no specific recent updates or detailed coverage found regarding this event. The local news source Los Cerritos Community News covers various community topics but does not have listed reports or updates about such a protest as of now.
Mall management at Los Cerritos Center has been notified about the protest, and the local sheriffs have also been informed. It is essential to note that the search results only indicate a general ICE-related protest near the Norwalk 605 Freeway area dated July 28, 2025, but it does not mention the involvement of Cerritos Gahr High or Artesia High students or the precise location of Los Cerritos Center or Lakewood.
If you want to find the latest and most accurate updates on this event, I recommend checking real-time local news outlets, social media channels of involved schools or activist groups, or official announcements from local authorities.
