Cape students stage small anti-ICE protest

Social media post called for walkout on Feb. 2
February 2, 2026

A very small number of Cape Henlopen High School students staged an anti-ICE protest Feb. 2.

The demonstration was not approved or sanctioned by the school district.

It was apparently the result of a social media post that called for a student body walkout to protest ICE.

The group of about six people walked from the front of the high school, down Kings Highway and around the back of the school building.

One protestor carried an upside down American flag, another carried a Pride flag, while another shouted through a bullhorn.
