More than 2,600 students and teachers at North Miami Senior High took to the streets Friday to protest an order by an immigration judge for their valedictorian, 18-year-old Daniela Pelaez, to depart the country.

The demonstration marked one of the biggest immigration protests in South Florida since 2004 when President George W. Bush first proposed the legalization of millions of undocumented immigrants.

The rally drew attention from national media and politicians including Sen. Marco Rubio and Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen.
