Only one of the five Quakertown High School students arrested three months ago is headed to trial next month. The case against one of the girls arrested during a protest of the actions of the U.S. Department of Immigration and Customs Enforcement is scheduled for June 15 in Bucks County Juvenile Court, according to her attorney.
            Cases against the four other students arrested during a Feb 20 scuffle with Quakertown police have been concluded, according to Ettore "Ed" Angelo. Last week, a judge denied his motion to dismiss all charges against his client.

            Prosecutors dropped multiple felonies against Angelo's client, a 15-year-old girl of color, two months ago. However, she still faces misdemeanor counts for resisting and disorderly conduct, according to the attorney.

            Quakertown police arrested five students and one adult during the incident in front of Sunday's Deli & Restaurant, located at 44 Front St., after responding at 11:35 a.m. The adult was never charged.

            According to a news release issued later that day, a portion of participants – who initially marched along 5th and Broad streets – engaged in disruptive and unsafe behavior, prompting police intervention to protect public safety and maintain order.

            The Bucks County District Attorney's Office has yet to release the findings of its investigation into the actions of the borough's police department. DA Joe Khan announced the inquiry one day after the arrests at the intersection of Front and Juniper streets.

            Separate reports from the Police Chiefs' Association of Bucks County and Quakertown Council lauded the actions of the police department during the incident.

            The former states that the municipal officers displayed restraint and professionalism during the arrest of five students. The latter justifies the actions of its police department.

            The May 7 statement from all seven council members, and signed by council President Donald E. Rosenberger, claims that their officers displayed restraint and professionalism. The document credits Chief Scott McElree for the "training [he] drilled into them."

            Police on the scene claim to have repeatedly warned the protesters to remain out of traffic to ensure public safety. As the protest reached East Broad Street, some participants began engaging in disruptive behavior, including throwing snowballs at vehicles, kicking cars and damaging property, such as tearing a side mirror from a car, according to the initial police statement. It states that the officers "issued additional warnings to maintain civil [behavior]."
            A few seconds later, a man – believed to be McElree – in a long-sleeved shirt pushes through the crowd and appears to grab a student standing near the deli entrance, according to video from the incident. It appears to show several students punching him in the head.
