"The ASU chapter of the National Lawyers Guild alleged in an Instagram post that ASU police officer James Quigley arranged a meeting with a staff member, who was not named, "under the pretense of discussing a 'concern' about a social media post." After a brief meeting, the employee was then arrested by multiple plainclothes Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, according to the group."
"A purported video of the encounter was later posted on X. The video shows several men with badges, one of whom identifies himself as "a special agent with Homeland Security" twisting an individual's wrist before kneeing him in the back. In the video, the arrested individual, who is the employee in question, according to the post, asks, "What did I do?" as he is arrested."

The ASU chapter of the National Lawyers Guild demanded that Arizona State denounce the incident, end cooperation with ICE, and adopt policies to prevent future targeting. Arizona State did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
