Leftist Pennsbury High School students plan anti-ICE walkout Friday – Bucks Round-Up – February 11, 2026
Leftist Pennsbury High School students plan anti-ICE walkout Friday
Far-left students at Pennsbury High School are expected to join a nationwide walkout Friday to protest U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations, setting the stage for a politically charged end to the school week in Falls Township. The 20-minute student-organized demonstration, originally planned earlier in the week, was moved to Friday morning and will coincide with a previously scheduled early dismissal for a staff in-service. Students plan to gather outside the campus before returning to class. Falls Township Police and district security will be present, and school officials have emphasized that non-students will not be permitted on school grounds. In a joint message to parents, Principal Reggie Meadows and Superintendent Dr. Thomas Smith said the district neither promotes nor organizes protests but will work to maintain a safe and orderly school day. Teachers will remain in classrooms and instruction will continue as scheduled. The walkout has sparked intense debate across social media. Conservative activist Scott Presler, who has been active in Bucks County elections, labeled the event an “anti-police protest” and said he has spoken with students, including some who plan to wear pro-ICE shirts. Other community members have defended the students’ First Amendment rights. Some parents have raised concerns about safety and disruption, while others say they will leave the decision to attend school up to their children.
American Heart Month sends out reminder to public about CPR
February has been declared American Heart Month. Bucks County Emergency Health Services training coordinator Ian Liberatore told county commissioners that roughly 350,000 Americans suffer cardiac arrest annually, and survival odds drop by ten percent for every minute CPR is not performed. “An average of 350,000 suffer from cardiac arrest every year and every minute CPR is not performed there is a ten percent less chance of survival,” he said. “There is about six to ten minutes of oxygen in an adult when they go into cardiac arrest that just needs to be circulated with compression and for children there’s about three to five minutes.” Officials are urging residents to seek CPR training, available through providers including Ready Response in Doylestown and Bucks County Community College.
Police drone finds missing man in Upper Bucks
In Buckingham Township, a missing endangered man suffering from dementia was safely located February 2 with the help of a police drone. Warrington Township’s Unmanned Aircraft Systems Division, launched in 2025, deployed the drone and quickly pinpointed the man’s location, allowing officers to reunite him with his family — another example of how local law enforcement is using technology to strengthen public safety.
