Valdosta, Georgia (CNN) A large group of black students attending a Donald Trump rally at Valdosta State University Monday were escorted out by law enforcement before the event started.

"We didn't plan to do anything," Tahjila Davis, a 19-year-old mass media major, told The Des Moines Register . "They said, 'This is Trump's property; it's a private event.' But I paid my tuition to be here."

News reports placed the number of students escorted out at about 30.

Kicking out anticipated protestors isn't an uncommon practice for Trump events, but this was one of the largest groups so far in his campaign. It occurred hours after a Secret Service agent choke-slammed a Time magazine photographer attempted to capture images of #BlackLivesMatter protesters at an event in Virginia.

Though at least one outlet reported the students were kicked out based on a request by the Trump campaign, the campaign denies that was the case.
