A 45-year-old Texas man has been arrested and charged with assaulting high school students during an anti-ICE protest, proving once again that leftist demonstrations often spiral into violence and chaos.

Chad Michael Watts of Kyle, Texas was slapped with two counts of assault causing bodily injury after Buda Police identified him as the "primary aggressor" in a wild brawl that erupted during a student walkout protest at Johnson High School. The entire incident was captured on video, showing the disturbing moment when adult agitators targeted minors.

Social media users were quick to spread word of the arrest. @SeeRacists posted: "🚨 UPDATE: Chad Michael Watts, 45, ARRESTED After Assaulting Students at Anti-ICE Student Protest in Buda, TX. Charged with 2 counts of assault causing bodily injury. Buda PD identifies Watts as primary aggressor in incident during Hays CISD walkout."

The incident highlights the toxic environment these anti-ICE protests create, where impressionable students are weaponized by radical activists to oppose President Trump's necessary immigration enforcement operations. Under the Trump-Vance Administration's mass deportation agenda, ICE has been working overtime to remove criminal illegal aliens from American communities - exactly what these protesters want to stop.

"We see that all the time in law enforcement — that videos start at the 10-second mark. What happened in the first 10 seconds?" a police source noted, suggesting there may be more to this story than the viral footage reveals.

What's particularly disturbing is how these so-called "peaceful" protests consistently devolve into violence. Parents across Texas should be asking themselves: why are school districts allowing their children to participate in politically charged demonstrations that put them in harm's way?

While Watts faces justice for his actions, the real question remains - who organized this protest and convinced these students to skip school to oppose immigration law enforcement? The Trump Administration's deportation efforts are not only legal but essential for protecting American communities from criminal aliens.

This incident serves as yet another reminder that the left's resistance to Trump's America First agenda often comes at the expense of our children's safety.
