40,000 students walked out of their classes yesterday to protest immigration reform proposals that would crack down on undocumented immigrants. Monday's demonstrations started in Los Angeles and spread to San Diego, Riverside, San Bernardino, Orange, and Ventura counties. Though the protests were mostly peaceful, there were a few clashes, several arrests, and traffic was gridlocked as protestors closed some area freeways. Students in San Pedro, Bellfower, Compton, and the San Fernando Valley have reportedly walked out again this morning. Larry talks about the walkouts with KPCC Reporter Adolfo Guzman Lopez.
