PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Some residents in the Philadelphia suburb of Quakertown are calling for the police chief to resign after a scuffle between police and students protesting ICE policies left several juveniles in custody. Video circulating online shows an older man in street clothes approach a group of young protesters outside a delicatessen and put his arm around the neck of a teenage girl as they both fall to the ground. Some residents have identified the man as the police chief. At least five students detained since Friday are due in juvenile court Tuesday for bail hearings.
