Students Are Taking A Stand Against Donald Trump’s Immigration Policies On Campus

Credit: Spencer Platt/Getty Images Students at over 50 colleges and universities planned to walk out of class Wednesday to push their schools to adopt “sanctuary campus” policies to keep undocumented students safe from deportation. “It’s to show this country that young people are resisting against Donald Trump’s hatred and racism and xenophobia,” she told The Huffington Post. Brown University Vice President for Communications Cass Cliatt told Newsweek in a statement that under advice from legal counsel, they believe “private universities and colleges do not have legal protection from entry by members of law enforcement or Immigration and Customs Enforcement.” A UW-Madison spokeswoman told Heat Street the university’s chancellor doesn’t have the authority to declare the campus a sanctuary. He said a sanctuary designation might not have a significant effect on ICE tactics, but it could have a “symbolic impact.” “It sends a message to all immigrant students and students who have immigrants in their families that the university is an inclusive community, that the goal of the university is to educate and promote an engaged citizenry for the future and that we do that without regard to citizenship status, without regard to immigration status,” he said.
