“Despite being primarily a children’s game, Roblox has evolved into a sort of emergent civic theatre for kids online,” argues Taylor Lorenz.

What first began as some Roblox players roleplaying as ICE agents has turned into a series of organized protests in the virtual world, filled with Mexican flags, anti-Trump signs, and, often, gunfire.

Roblox players attending virtual protests against ICE's deportations are now being shot by "police" players while attending the online demonstrations.

As protests against ICE efforts continue around the country, kids have begun creating their own protests online using the popular gaming site Roblox.
