Students Protest Proposed Immigration Bill

(CBS) HUNTINGTON PARK, Calif. The number of high school students in South Gate protesting an immigration bill due before Congress on Monday has grown.

School district officials say the group of students that left their classrooms at Huntington Park High at around 8 a.m. now has some 500 members, who have been entering other area school campuses.

Ellen Morgan of the Los Angeles Unified School District says Bell High and South Gate High have been locked down, so students at those schools can't enter or leave their campuses.

Friday's march comes a day before a larger rally planned in L.A. tomorrow, when immigrant-rights groups will gather to protest the legislation.
