This week, the Trump administration officially announced the end of the Deferred Action for Children Arrivals (DACA) program, prompting outcry from immigration activists, including a huge Dreamers protest in front of Trump Tower.
Obama wasn't here for the decision, either. And he let us know.
Now, protest is coming from the mouths of babes.
Students all over the nation are walking out of their classrooms to protest the decision as well.
FOX Denver recently posted a Facebook Live video showing a swarm of students walking out of Denver schools.
The protest included students from Denver area schools such as West High School and North High School, among others.

And Denver certainly isn't alone. The ACLU of Arizona reported via Twitter that Phoenix's S. Mountain High School and Tucson school students walked out to protest the DACA decision and maintain that immigrants are #HereToStay.

Naturally, college students are getting in on the action as well, with a journalist from NBC San Diego reporting that roughly 100 people gathered on campus to protest DACA's ending as well:
