Florida International University (FIU) has signed a collaborative agreement with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) under the 287(g) program, training some police officers to assist with immigration enforcement. This decision has raised significant concerns among students and faculty, especially since a large portion of FIU's student body is Hispanic and includes many permanent residents and DACA students. At an emotional faculty senate meeting, questions arose about student safety, trust in police, and the impact on non-citizen students, particularly following recent visa revocations affecting international students.
The recent signing of the agreement between FIU police and Immigration and Customs Enforcement under the 287(g) program sparked emotional discussions among faculty and students.
