Georgetown Law and George Washington Law students organized a petition to disinvite ICE from a joint public interest career fair, collecting over 1,200 signatures and meeting with Dean Dayna Bowen Matthew. The dean declined to bar ICE, citing free expression, university policy, and accreditation rules.
