I’d like to ask this as generally as I can so that the answers are as applicable as possible, but I’m writing from a small college library in NY, so I’d like to get a sense for myself and my staff about what our rights, obligations and protections for students and patrons are as Librarians in the event of a “visit” or raid by Immigrations and Customs Enforcement.
This is a timely and important question.
Regarding the ability of law enforcement (including ICE, FBI, ATF, etc.) to enter a college or university campus: the administration will make that determination, and it will be based on many factors.
