From the College Fix, U. Maryland leftists demand sanctuary campus, no cooperation with ICE
Far-left University of Maryland groups are demanding school administrators declare UMD a “sanctuary” for illegal immigrant students, and that they do not cooperate with any Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials.
A petition created by UMD’s Young Democratic Socialists of America claims the Trump administration — “empowered by an unaccountable executive branch” — is “escalating its attacks on vulnerable populations” via “armed and masked thugs in plain clothes” who are “kidnapping people […] for speaking out against genocide or simply for speaking a different language.”
The petition also notes UMD “silently took down” all webpages associated with the campus Immigrant and Undocumented Student Life Office, “submitted aggregate data” about Chinese international students in response to a “strongly worded letter” from the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party, and renamed the Office of Diversity & Inclusion to “Belonging & Community at UMD.”
Groups backing the YDSA include UMD Students for Justice in Palestine, United Academics of Maryland-University of Maryland, Animals 4 Animals, UMD College Democrats, and Indigenous at UMD.
In addition to the “sanctuary” campus demand and non-cooperation with ICE, the petition wants students to “immediately” be alerted if/when ICE is on campus, and the restoration of the Immigrant and Undocumented Student Life Office’s webpages.
UMD had an Immigrant and Undocumented Student Life Office? Ignore them, unless they're foreign students. If so, deport them.
