<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">We already received a similar informational email from UC admin about immigration activity but it doesn't hurt to reiterate. This message below has more info. PUT UCR LEGAL COUNSEL PHONE NUMBER IN YOUR CONTACTS NOW.<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">For me, the most alarming phrase in this message is "for the eventuality that ICE shows up on campus". The news is showing how likely this is - answer: very. Whatever your political stance is, ICE cannot be disrupting our lessons or research
without a criminal warrant. Know your rights. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.5pt">Dear Faculty Association members,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.5pt"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.5pt">For those of you who are interested in learning about how to prepare for the eventuality that ICE shows up on campus, or more generally how the UC system is responding to threats against undocumented students,
faculty, and staff, here is some basic information:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.5pt"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.5pt">All nine undergraduate-serving UC campuses have immigration attorneys on staff, but they are tasked with representing and advising undocumented students and their families, and not the campus at large. If
you have concerned students who are undocumented or who have immediate undocumented family, direct them to those offices. Anyone not in that category should address their legal questions to campus counsel. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.5pt"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.5pt">In the wake of the Trump administration’s recent actions and declarations, the UC system has reaffirmed its commitment to protecting undocumented members of its community. The full statement is here:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.5pt"><a href="https://undoc.universityofcalifornia.edu/files/uc-principles-in-support-of-undocumented-members-of-the-uc-community.pdf" target="_blank"><span style="color:#96607D">https://undoc.universityofcalifornia.edu/files/uc-principles-in-support-of-undocumented-members-of-the-uc-community.pdf</span></a><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.5pt">Long story short, UC police will generally not collaborate or share information with ICE (nor with local law enforcement agencies working with ICE) unless legally compelled.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.5pt"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.5pt">ICE can legally move freely in public campus spaces, but will need a <i>criminal</i> warrant to enter residences or classrooms where classes are currently in session without consent. In most cases they will
have a civil warrant if any, which does not grant them the right to entry without consent. Because it can be difficult to tell one warrant from the other, the advised course of action in a situation where an ICE agent requests entry to an area and shows paperwork
is as follows:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.5pt">1. Ask the officer for documentation of their name, ID number, agency affiliation, and business card, as well as a copy of the warrant or subpoena. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.5pt">2. Tell them you are not obstructing their process, but that you need to call campus counsel for assistance.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.5pt">3. Call campus counsel (put this number in your phone now!) <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.5pt"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.5pt">If you see ICE on campus, call campus counsel to let them know.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
