In recent months, a disturbing trend has taken hold across college campuses and protest spaces: students—many of them international or from marginalized communities—are being detained, placed in ICE custody, and threatened with deportation. These actions raise serious legal and constitutional concerns and reflect a broader strategy to criminalize dissent and intimidate vulnerable populations.
This panel will bring together attorneys and policy experts to unpack:
The legal grounds (or lack thereof) for these detentions
How immigration enforcement is being used to target student activism
The consequences for student safety, academic freedom, and civil liberties
How communities, schools, and advocates can fight back
Confirmed Speakers Include:
Amy Greer, attorney for Mahmoud Khalil
Mahsa Khanbabai, attorney for Rumeysa Ozturk
Please join us for this critical conversation about defending protest rights and protecting our students.
