Northwestern University Police should not be the enforcers of broken federal immigration policy.
NUPD are commissioned to protect Northwestern students from direct threats to their safety. The presence of an undocumented immigrant on campus does not qualify as one of these.
The City Council has mandated that local officials treat immigrants, a demographic frequently victimized by racism, "on a humane and just basis." Even though the University Police were not specifically targeted in this resolution, it is appalling that they would so blatantly disregard its protective precedent.
Northwestern is better than that.
The University Police's unnecessary and unwarranted cooperation with ICE is not what our tuition money or our endowment is for. It is not the mission or responsibility of Northwestern, or our campus police.
We implore University Police, as well as Northwestern as an institution, to apologize immediately to Evanston and Chicago's immigrant community and promise not to repeat this mistake.
