An ICE-protesting student has been charged with assault and others could face charges, police say, after dozens of students left a southwest Ohio school to protest U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and rushed through a local grocery store.

Lt. Emily Englebert, spokeswoman for North College Hill police, told The Epoch Times on Feb. 20 that a young female faces an assault charge for allegedly striking a man in the head during the Feb. 18 incident.

Additional potential charges against other participants could include theft and criminal damaging, Englebert said, but she was unable to release further information.
