Some 700 Claremont Unified School District students walked out of classes Wednesday and marched to the intersection of Indian Hill and Foothill Boulevard for a 90-minute protest of the federal immigration crackdowns taking place in Democratically-controlled states across the nation.

Students primarily from Claremont High but also from San Antonio High and El Roble Intermediate School walked out of classes at 1:25 p.m. and remained at the intersection through the end of the school day.
