Berkeley -- Two dozen students from Berkeley High School protested raids by immigration agents, donning brown armbands on Thursday to show solidarity with the Latino community that is most often the target of immigration crackdowns.

The protest came a day after Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents raided homes in Berkeley and Oakland and arrested suspected illegal immigrants. The raids touched off rumors that swirled around Berkeley and Oakland schools that ICE agents were going on campus to detain students who were in the country illegally.

The school districts said no ICE teams had entered school property, and that they were unlikely to do so. Berkeley district spokesman Mark Coplan said some teachers responded to the rumors by keeping students in classrooms, or giving them rides home to avoid having to deal with the immigration officials.

I think it's more newsworthy when Berkeley students aren't protesting something.

Can we sell Berkley to somebody? Are there any buyers? China? (Not the property, just the citizens.)
