GOLETA, Calif. (KEYT) – Around 10:40am Tuesday morning, students from San Marcos High School organized a planned walkout, protesting federal immigration policies and actions.

The peaceful protest took place on various streets in Goleta. Students held signs and waved both American and Latin American flags in solidarity with the immigrant community.

The students were supported by teachers and staff who says they have a right to stand up for what they believe in. In a statement, Principal Dare Holdren said:

"While we believe the best place for students is in the classroom, we do support our students in making their voices heard and participating in their local community in a variety of ways. We encourage students to research issues, ask questions, and engage in both local and global issues that are important to them as they learn to become informed and productive citizens."

The high school says teachers remained on-campus teaching and supervising the students who chose to remain in class.

"Our staff’s primary responsibility will be to ensure the safety of all students, both on and off campus," said Principal Holdren.

(CNN) — New images showing an armed, masked individual outside the Tucson, Arizona, home of Nancy Guthrie have given new life to the search for the 84-year-old – and may offer investigators important clues about the subject’s identity.

The video and images released by the FBI Tuesday are the biggest break so far in the case of the missing mother of “Today” show anchor Savannah Guthrie. They were captured by Guthrie’s Nest-made doorbell camera and recovered thanks to technical expertise provided by Google, a person familiar with the investigation told CNN’s Brian Stelter.

Investigators’ goal in sharing the imagery, experts say, is to engage the public in hopes someone will recognize the individual and provide a crucial tip that could solve the mystery of the suspected abduction of Guthrie in the early morning hours of February 1.

Here’s what stands out about the footage and images to law enforcement experts who spoke to CNN:

The holster

The subject seen in the images released Tuesday is armed, carrying what appears to be a pistol in a holster at the waist. But some experts said the holster and its placement – at the individual’s groin area – suggest this person lacks proficiency with firearms.

“In my opinion, this is not someone, first of all, who was ever trained to carry a gun,” said CNN Senior Law Enforcement Analyst Andrew McCabe, former deputy director of the FBI.

“No person with law enforcement or military training would ever carry a firearm in a holster like that, right where that is at almost the center of his body, hanging off of his belt there,” he said. “It’s not very tactically sound for a lot of reasons.”

Steve Moore, a retired FBI supervisory special agent, similarly said the holster and gun did not appear to be appropriately paired.

“It’s kind of ridiculous,” Moore said. “He’s got a small, semiautomatic pistol meant for concealment that he could have put in his pocket, but instead he’s holstering it in a holster made for a large-frame revolver. They don’t even match.”

The clothing

The images also show the individual covered head to toe, wearing a mask, gloves, a jacket and long pants in addition to the holster and backpack.

CNN senior correspondent Josh Campbell, a former FBI agent, said the individual’s garb “could have been a purposeful attempt to try to prevent leaving behind any DNA at the scene, from skin or hair fibers, as well as fingerprints.”

Each of the subject’s items will be scrutinized, Campbell said, in hopes of determining its brand and thus where the item might be sold.

“In past cases,” he said, “authorities have canvassed places like clothing and hardware stores in order to determine if employees may have recognized a possible subject (from) when the items were purchased.”

The gait

The video specifically offers a key insight that the still images can’t: How the individual moves.

The footage shows the subject walking around outside as they approach Guthrie’s home and try to obstruct the camera. While the movement may not be an obvious cue to strangers, experts say it could be recognizable to someone who knows the person.
