A group of about 30 black students said they were ejected from a Donald Trump rally at a state university in Georgia—on the orders of the Trump campaign.
Some of the Valdosta State University students were crying after being removed by law enforcement officials.
“We didn’t plan to do anything,” Tahjila Davis, a 19-year-old mass media major, told the Des Moines Register.
Another Secret Service agent told CNN the protesters were “asked to leave by the host committee and local law enforcement.”
“We do not escort protestors (or) disruptors out of events,” the agent, speaking on background, said. “(It’s) not a Secret Service function and (campaign) staff knows that.”
The group of students who were told to leave were left confused and upset.
“I don’t understand why they would do something like that,” Davis said. “I have not experienced any racism on this campus until now.”
