flag Nearly 250 Colorado high school athletes lost sports eligibility after protesting immigration enforcement, per attendance rules.

flag Nearly 250 high school students in Grand Junction, Colorado, were deemed ineligible to compete in sports after participating in a Friday walkout protesting ICE and CBP. flag The Mesa County Valley School District 51 enforced its attendance policy, which bars athletes from competing if they have unexcused absences on or before non-school contact days. flag The district said families were informed in advance that walkouts would count as unexcused absences, and the policy applies regardless of the reason for absence. flag While the district emphasized it respects students’ right to protest, it stressed that athletic eligibility is tied to attendance, not discipline. flag Some wrestlers were excused due to a delayed return from an out-of-town event, but others were not, leading to mixed reactions from athletes and parents.
