Man arrested for attacking teen during anti-ICE protest at school

A Texas man was arrested after violently attacking a teenager during a protest against President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown.

Police determined that 45-year-old Chad Michael Watts was the primary aggressor during a fight with the minor teen as hundreds of students from Hays Consolidated Independent School District in Kyle walked out of class Monday to protest Trump's mass deportation campaign, reported KEYE-TV.

"I was like, are they jumping this guy at first?” said Kim, whose child attends Moe and Gene Johnson High School. “Then I realized, oh, wow, he’s an adult that actually probably started getting violent.”
