LETTER Re: College and University Rights and Obligations to Noncitizen Students

We shared a letter from the National ACLU with all Rhode Island colleges and universities that outlines their rights and responsibilities when dealing with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) investigations and enforcement actions.

Specifically, the letter explains why providing housing and other services to noncitizen students does not make institutions liable under the immigration harboring statute (8 U.S.C. § 1324), and the institution’s rights and options after receiving an ICE administrative subpoena.

The letter displayed is from the ACLU of RI, find the enclosed letter from the National ACLU in the PDF links below.
