Texas man arrested after getting into fight with high schoolers who walked out of class to protest ICE

I have put the videos I found below.  Notice that the governor and the attorney general blame the kids and claim the schools have taught them radical left wing extremism.  The kids see the news media about what ICE is doing and have friends who are not white. They  are angry and they are future voters.  That is what scares the republican leadership in Texas so much they are demanding schools push a hard right Republican bigoted racist agenda onto schoolchildren in the hopes of raising a new bunch of maga.  They don’t blame te adult man who got out of his truck and walked into a group of minors with the intention to force his angry racist maga views on them.  Note he shoved a girl.  In his mind how dare she talk back to a male?  That is who maga thugs have degenerated into.

Law enforcement say the 45-year-old man was the ‘primary aggressor’ in the fight that went viral

 
A 45-year-old Texas man was arrested Tuesday on assault charges after getting into a physical altercation with a student who participated in an anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement walkout protest, police said.

Earlier this week, students at Moe and Gene Johnson High School, located in Buda, Texas, walked out of classes in protest of the Trump administration’s aggressive immigration enforcement.

While the protest was largely peaceful,a verbal altercation between an adult man in a vehicle and a female juvenile on the sidewalk escalated into physical violence, according to video of the incident posted online, shared by CBS Austin.

The man, Chad Michael Watts, allegedly got out of his vehicle and confronted the female juvenile, resulting in an exchange of punches. After Watts pushed the girl to the ground, other students began attacking him, the video shows.

Watts was arrested nearly a day after the incident and charged with two counts of assault causing bodily injury, the Buda Police Department said. The Hays County District Attorney said it was investigating the matter as well.

“No matter one’s political views, an adult bears a clear responsibility to exercise restraint, especially in the presence of children,” the Hays County DA said. “Violence or intimidation directed at a minor – particularly during a lawful, peaceful demonstration – has no place in a constitutional republic that depends on the rule of law rather than force.

Multiple videos of the interaction, posted online, show Watts, holding what appears to be a red hat, challenging students, some of whom were holding “ICE out” signs.

After Watts pushed the girl to the ground, several students physically confronted him. One jumped on Watt’s back and pulled him to the ground while others began hitting him, punching him and pulling his hair, the video shows.

Buda police said that after a thorough investigation, “it was determined that Watts was the primary aggressor in the physical altercation.”

Both Watts and the juvenile girl sustained minor injuries but did not need EMS attention on the scene.

Law enforcement is conducting an ongoing investigation into the fight and said other charges against Watts could be filed.

Students across the country have planned walkouts in protest of President Donald Trump’s aggressive immigration enforcement operations.

The walkout protests have sparked anger from some Texas officials, including Attorney General Ken Paxton, who accused officials in the Austin Independent School District of imposing a “radical political agenda” on students who planned the walkout.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott also condemned the student protests while sharing an article that stated two juveniles in Hays County were arrested for possession of alcohol and resisting arrest. Law enforcement officials said those arrests had nothing to do with the protests.

But Abbott used the article to call the protests “disruptive” and assert that school staff should be treated as “co-conspirators” in “criminal behavior.”

“We are also looking into stripping the funding of schools that abandon their duty to teach our kids the curriculum required by law,” Abbott said.

  • Child had severe respiratory illness, lawsuit says
  • DHS says child received proper medical care and medications
  • Trump faces criticism for immigration detention practices
NEW YORK, Feb 7 (Reuters) – An 18-month-old girl detained for weeks by U.S. immigration authorities was returned to custody and denied medication after being hospitalized with a life-threatening respiratory illness, according to a lawsuit filed in Texas federal court.
The child, identified in the lawsuit as “Amalia,” was released by immigration authorities in President Donald Trump‘s administration after her parents sued on Friday. The parents, who also had been detained, were released as well. The suit had sought the release of all three of them.
In a statement provided on Monday following the publication of this story on Saturday, U.S. Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin said claims that Amalia did not receive proper medical treatment or medications were false.
The family was detained during a check-in with immigration authorities on December 11 and held at a facility in Dilley, Texas, according to the lawsuit. Amalia was hospitalized from January 18 to 28, and returned to the Dilley facility in the midst of a measles outbreak, the lawsuit said.
“Baby Amalia should never have been detained. She nearly died at Dilley,” said Elora Mukherjee, an attorney for the family.
Mukherjee said hundreds of children and families detained at Dilley lack sufficient drinking water, healthy food, educational opportunities or proper medical care, and should be released.
McLaughlin said in the statement on Monday that the child immediately received medical care after becoming ill, was admitted to a hospital for treatment and returned to the Dilley facility after being cleared for release by a pediatric doctor. Amalia was housed in the medical unit upon her return and received proper treatment and prescribed medicines, the statement said.
“It is a longstanding practice to provide comprehensive medical care from the moment an alien enters ICE custody. This includes medical, dental, and mental health intake screening within 12 hours of arriving at each detention facility, a full health assessment within 14 days of entering ICE custody or arrival at a facility, and access to medical appointments and 24-hour emergency care,” McLaughlin said.
Trump’s administration has been accused of heavy-handed and inhumane tactics as well as violating court orders while carrying out his mass deportation program.
A federal judge in Michigan criticized the administration in a January 31 ruling ordering the release of a five-year-old boy – seen in a viral photo wearing a blue bunny hat outside his house as federal agents stood nearby – who was detained by immigration agents in Minnesota. The administration is now seeking to deport the boy.
Amalia’s parents, originally from Venezuela, have lived in the United States since 2024 with their daughter, who is a Mexican citizen, according to the lawsuit. The lawsuit says all three intend to file asylum applications in the United States.
Amalia developed a fever on January 1 that reached as high as 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius), started vomiting frequently and struggled to breathe, according to the lawsuit.
She was taken to the hospital on January 18 with extremely low oxygen saturation levels and diagnosed with COVID-19, respiratory syncytial virus, viral bronchitis and pneumonia, according to the lawsuit. She was placed on supplemental oxygen.
Amalia was given a nebulizer and a respiratory medication upon her discharge from the hospital, but these were taken away by detention center staff upon her return, according to the lawsuit. The girl has lost 10% of her body weight and was given nutritional drinks to help her regain it, but these were also confiscated by authorities, according to the lawsuit.

February 3, 2026 – A MAGA fascist got out of his ridiculous truck and attacked a peaceful high school walkout protest against ICE in Buda, Texas, and quickly got his ass handed to him by a bunch of antifascist high-schoolers. 

“And DON’T tell the internet that I got my ass beat by 2 dozen children. Do NOT put it on the news.”

2 MS Now clips on the administrations racism / ICE and attempts to whitewash history to remove words like racist. The goal is to erase anything that makes white people look bad.

 

 

 

Short clips from MS Now on ICE actions and Stephen Miller

At the end of this clip the guest describes the conditions the kids are being held under in these for profit prisons.  Horrible food, prison like conditions which means no freedom of movement, and other things.  Remember the boy and his father are here legally like so many others scooped up by these racist ICE goon Gestapo gang thugs and the tRump admin.  Hugs

 

 

The 2 year old got her hand cut during the attack on him.  The father signed his deportation order because he worried they would keep coming back after his daughter and wanted to spare her that. The racists got what they wanted.  The video also describes how ICE was arresting people, detaining them, and then releasing them in other parts of the country.  Hugs

This a new little book I made about Ciel’s struggle to come out during a sleepover at Stephie’s place, back when they were in 4th grade.

To be honest, I made it for three specific reasons : first, I needed a break from the pressure of having everything I draw available on the internet, which allows a lot of visibility but also a lot of vulnerability to haters and transphobes. I needed to create something that would be relatively immuned to the attacks that I get for making this comic.

Second, I made it because I’ve been wanting to revisit the beginning of Assigned Male for some time now. The learning curve has been very steep since I started it two years ago, and I quickly grew unsatisfied with the first 30 strips or so of the series. I’ve been wanting to redraw those for a while, and this short story about Ciel and Stephie was the perfect opportunity for that.

Third, there are things that I needed to talk about and themes I wanted to explore that just couldn’t fit in the webcomic format. Important stuff like confidence, trans femme friendships or the feeling of getting to know ourselves better.

So yeah, it won’t be on the internet, sorry! But you can get it here

Hey there! So I’ve been juggling with this idea for some time, and I think now is the best time to launch it, a little more than one month before back-to-school.

As a former elementary school teacher, I know how limited classroom budgets are, but as someone who grew up trans, I also know how important it is for trans youth to be in contact with positive trans fictional characters. So here’s my idea :

I made this children’s book titled “A Girl Like Any Other” about four yearsago, about a young girl’s transition and her family and friends. It’s basically the book that launched my career as an author. It allowed me to meet some of the most amazing families that I know, and gave me the background setting for my comic.

As it’s almost back-to-school time, I want to send copies of the book for free to elementary teachers that are willing to have it in their classrooms. All they will have to do is to message me their school’s address on Tumblr or by email before August 15th. I will also send them a link to download my “Genderific Coloring book” for free.

The goal is to get the budget to print 200 copies as well as enough money to cover shipping fees for all over the world. I’ll adjust the goal if I see that the demand is higher than that.

It costs around 8$ to print one single copy, and we can estimate a 4$ median for the shipping (it’s 2.50$ for Canada – where I live, – 3$ for the US and 5.50$ worldwide). We need to add 7% for the handling of the money by GoFundMe and Paypal, so that’s 12.84$ per copy – and 2568$ for 200 copies.

If there’s any money left from the campaign, it will be donated to the Trans Lifeline.

To contribute : gofundme.com/7d4rbtvs

Please share widely (and pass the info to teachers)!

Last call to get this book into classrooms!

Since the beginning of the school year two weeks ago, I’ve been receiving messages from teachers asking for resources to help with trans children in their classrooms. I’m giving away copies of this children’s book I made about a trans girl for free to K-6 teachers around the world! Just send me a message if you want it for the school you’re teaching in.

It also not too late to contribute to the crowdfunding campaign that makes this possible : https://www.gofundme.com/7d4rbtvs

Also, I just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU to those who already participated or asked for a book for their workplace. It makes me believe in community power even more. 

(And if you just want the book it’s here)

MS Now ICE clips and some guest democrats.

 

 

The video below has people recounting the gang thug brutality of ICE attacking and shooting people doing nothing wrong.  ICE thugs were totally out of control and had no respect for civil rights or the lives of the people they attacked.  The ICE thugs seemed to be jacked up in rage by some substance and enjoyed causing pain and being cruel.  Hugs

The video below details how the ICE gang thugs were bragging about shooting innocent people.  The thugs did not care how brutal they were with the woman but instead seemed to relish being allowed to be so brutal.   Hugs 

The video below details the conditions at the ICE concentration camp, including that a 2 month old baby is being held there.   Hugs
