Student protests force immigration policy change in Tucson
When school officials at a Tucson high school found pot in a student's backpack, they called the cops. When the cops learned the student and his family were in the U.S. without papers, they called the Border Patrol. The entire family was deported to Mexico.
Students protested, and the Tucson police has changed its policy: no longer will they call the Border Patrol to schools or churches, though they will share information.
