History
Protest incident
On January 29, 2026, a student was struck by a juvenile driving an SUV with a Donald Trump 2024 presidential campaign flag on the back during a student-led protest against Immigration and Customs Enforcement.[2][3] The driver had just re-entered the vehicle after allegedly confronting someone for attempting to damage his SUV.[4] The driver stopped briefly after hitting the student, before driving away from the scene. The injured student was immediately tended to by other students.[2][3] A day later, the Fremont Police Department (FPD) said it had located the driver of the vehicle, and he told police he left the scene because he was fearful of being hurt by protestors if he stopped. The FPD concluded that the driver was not responsible, and the student who was struck was in the road improperly.[4]
