Columbia University updates its job fair policy following outrage over U.S. Border Patrol event
"If you're looking for an opportunity in federal law enforcement, including entry-level applicants and those with one or more years in law enforcement and/or with military background, this is the perfect event for you, the listing states."
"U.S. Customs and Border Protection is seeking skilled and dedicated professionals interested in mission support roles in intelligence, criminal investigation, international trade, procurement, facilities management, forensics, engineering, business administration and more."
"Columbia University was at the center of controversy and public outcry after one of its students, pro-Palestinian protestor Mahmoud Khalil, was detained multiple times by ICE between 2025 and 2026."
Columbia University revised its job fair policy after a virtual U.S. Customs and Border Protection career expo was promoted on the School of Professional Studies website and later removed. The CBP listing described live-chat recruiter booths and invited entry-level applicants, law enforcement candidates, and those with military backgrounds. The listing listed mission support roles across intelligence, criminal investigation, international trade, procurement, facilities management, forensics, engineering, and business administration. The promotion prompted controversy amid recent campus anti-ICE protests and public outcry related to a student, Mahmoud Khalil, who was detained multiple times by ICE and faces deportation.
