NEW - A Legal Blueprint for an ICE-Free Campus

EntSun News/11075871
How to Keep ICE Agents Off Your Entire University Campus Now

WASHINGTON - EntSun -- Activist students are beginning to demand that their university go beyond being a mere "Sanctuary Campus," which merely limits active cooperation with ICE agents, to one which bars them from coming onto any portion of the campus including lawns and walkways.

To explain how this can be done easily and legally, and to counter arguments by university administrators that they have already done all they can to protect vulnerable students, UNIVERSITY WORLD NEWS has published a how-to guide written by a noted law professor which suggests administrators are likely to be forced to take the next logical step; a total ban: ICE-Free Campuses: Will Universities Take the next Step? (https://www.universityworldnews.com/post.php?st...)

In it he explains that corporations and other businesses, including universities, have a legal right to bar from their property any person or class of persons they wish, providing only that the prohibition is not based upon a protected category such as race.  Many, for example, bar persons smoking or carrying guns or drugs anywhere on the campus, both indoors and outdoors.

Simply posting prominent signs reading "NO ICE" at entrances to the campus, perhaps next to the existing "NO SMOKING" signs, would tend to keep them from snatching up students anywhere on the campus, including going to and from classes, dormitories, etc.  As the article explains:

"It appears that ICE agents, if not armed with a warrant signed by a judge, have generally respected restrictions on their movements imposed by universities and have not tried to force their way into dormitories, classrooms and other non-public areas on campus. Therefore, they may well abide by other restrictions universities may impose, including an entire ICE-free campus.  If not, any arrests or other detentions which may occur could be challenged in court since they were accomplished only through illegal trespass by ICE."

Copies of the article have been sent to the dozens of schools which have already become a "Sanctuary Campus."
