Amid controversy over a high school student protest in eastern Pennsylvania that led to at least five arrests, the Bucks County District Attorney’s Office launched “an independent investigation into the police response during this incident,” according to the office’s Feb. 21 statement.

The probe stems from police–student confrontations that occurred on Feb. 20 after about 35 Quakertown High School students defied school officials and left school to protest against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
