DALLAS – A Dallas high-schooler faces criminal charges after police allege he ignored repeated requests to move out of the road during a student walkout, opting instead to waive a Mexican flag as he jumped onto a moving car.

Bryan Adams High School student Cristhian Pagoada, 17, was among a throng of students who walked out of school last Friday in protest of President Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigrant criminals. The students reportedly blocked traffic, which prompted police to intervene in an attempt to force them to the sidewalk.

According to The Dallas Morning News:

Officers said they asked the group several times to move to the sidewalk, but the crowd refused.

Pagoada, who was carrying a Mexican flag, broke off from the group and attempted to block a nearby intersection and jump onto a moving vehicle.

Police ordered Pagoada to stop, which he allegedly ignored before leading officers on a short chase that ended with him in handcuffs.

The incident came the day after “A Day Without Immigrants” nationwide protest against Trump, which coincided with walkouts and other demonstrations by social justice advocates at schools across the country.

Students in Boston, New York, Washington D.C., the Bay Area, Los Angeles, Dallas, Portland, Ore., Seattle, Oakland, Phoenix, Minneapolis, Rhode Island, Minnesota, and numerous other areas have participated in the protests since Trump was elected, though they have not accomplished anything.

For Pagoada, his day of action ended with two criminal charges: evading arrest and failure to use a sidewalk.

Of course, those who commented about his stunt online were not impressed.

“So you’re supposed to show your support for immigrants to the United States by carrying a Mexican flag?” steverogers925 posted in the Dallas Morning News comments.

“Ironically, he didn’t even know what he was protesting,” Jose Fuentes added.
