Know Your Rights – Immigration

If you are stopped in the airport, on campus, or in the community by immigration enforcement and need assistance, know your rights!

Guidance from UUP Statewide

“As word circulates around the country about threats by the federal government against international students and faculty on U.S. campuses, it’s good to be prepared and to know how to respond if you encounter federal immigration officials, or if you are asked by a student or colleague on how to respond. See the links below for valuable information. If ICE agents appear on your campus: Call campus security.”
