Student Newspaper at Loyola Creates ICE Tracker, Claims Immigration Enforcement is ‘Unconstitutional’
“The Phoenix is vehemently against the unconstitutional use of ICE in our neighborhood, city and country”
This is beyond the valley of stupid. These students should be embarrassed.

Loyola student newspaper creates ICE tracker, says immigration enforcement is ‘unconstitutional’
The student newspaper at Loyola University-Chicago created its own map to track the activities of Immigration and Customs Enforcement in the area.
The editorial board is taking the stance that all enforcement of immigration laws, which simply require people to be here legally, is “unconstitutional.”
“The Phoenix is vehemently against the unconstitutional use of ICE in our neighborhood, city and country,” the Loyola Phoenix opined.
“Immigrants make America great — from the Northern corners of Rogers Park, to the Southernmost parts of Edgewater and, broadly, to the greater Chicagoland area,” the editorial board wrote, mentioning the two neighborhoods where the Jesuit Catholic university is located. “We stand in solidarity with our immigrant neighbors, working people and at-risk community members.”
The newspaper appears to have launched the tracker in the past several weeks and currently only lists two sightings. Earlier this year, students mistook a census taker at a dorm hall for an ICE agent.
However, the student newspaper promised to “verify” any submissions before sharing them.
The Trump administration has been enforcing immigration law in Chicago and the surrounding suburbs since Sept. 8 as part of “Operation Midway Blitz.”

Seems to me every student involved should have all of their grades zeroed. They obviously cheated to get them since they’re so stupid to even make such a statement. “Who’s been taking your tests for you?”
I wonder whether whoever wrote that has ever read the constitution.
However, I note that the article’s advice to students emphasizes twice: “Do not interfere with the investigation.” “Do not interfere with or otherwise obstruct the operation.”
I’ve seen videos of people harassing ICE members, screaming things like, “Where’s your warrant? Show me your warrant!”
A favorite Democrat talking point is that people are being deported without due process.
Based on this, admittedly slim, evidence, I suspect the student newspaper believes that ICE is routinely violating the fourth and possibly sixth amendments.
That is, if they actually know what those amendments say, which might be asking them to think too hard.
ICE agents need a warrant, an actual one signed by an Article III judge, to enter private property without the owner’s permission. They do not require one to arrest someone in a public place, or in a place where the owner has permitted them.
Unconstitutional?
