Cornell Socialists Demand ‘Sanctuary Campus’ From ICE
Cornell University socialists demand ‘sanctuary campus’ to support illegal immigrants and ‘queer’ students.
Cornell University should establish itself as a “sanctuary campus” from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), according to the campus Young Democratic Socialists of America.
The group is circulating a petition that asks President Michael Kotlikoff and Dean Marla Love to create a sanctuary on campus from ICE agents. The proposal is billed not just as a way to protect illegal immigrants, but to resist President Trump in general. Only 61 people have signed the petition as of this morning, 9,939 short of the club’s goal of 10,000.
“Anti-Trans executive orders have affirmed the ways that many people discriminate against trans people,” the petition states. “ICE has made it harder for immigrants and even American-born citizens to live their lives.”
“Deals with universities have stripped them of their academic freedom and forced them to fall in line with the President’s views on education,” the students wrote.
And yet, Cornell has not sufficiently stood up to Trump’s “fascistic administration,” according to the socialist activists.
Rather, Cornell gave “$60M to Trump, agreed to train staff on Trump’s harmful rhetoric, and allowed ICE recruits to stay on their hiring systems.”
The claim of $60 million going to Trump likely refers to a Nov. 2025 agreement between the Ivy League university and the Department of Justice (DOJ).
It requires Cornell to spend $30 million investing in rural agriculture while paying another $30 million to the federal government to settle civil rights and DEI investigations. The deal also restored federal funding opportunities.
The students have other bones to pick with the administration.
Cornell did not even send out a “school-wide email communicating…support for minority students[‘] groups.” Officials also “refused to broadly advertise the many resources available for groups such as queer and trans students.”
But the school can rectify its past mistakes by creating a sanctuary campus, helping not just students here without papers, but “queer” community members as well.
“Making Cornell a sanctuary campus is an essential first step in ensuring that Cornell can stick to its motto and persist through unprecedented struggles,” the petition states in bold.
This petition is just one of the actions taken by the active Democratic Socialists club, according to its Instagram.
The club also called for an end to “fossil fuel funding,” hosted a drag show, and held a “funeral procession for Palestinian martyrs.”

How about sanctuary from FAFSA for Cornell students if they don’t want federal law to apply on campus.
I find it queer that they care more about illegals than they do law abiding students.
I don’t. It’s expected. They’re all Harvard/Yale wannabe’s anyways.
Blimey, after lighting up a fag upon awakening, it puts me off my sausage and black pudding to read this on my mobile.
How about no more Federal funding for Cornell including federally backed student loans. Fair Exchange?
You take the federal money, you will dance to the federal tune.
OH NO! You can’t take away their Federal funding as that would infringe on their 1st Amendment rights.The American taxpayer MUST finance the Leftist anti-government people.
That’s not a totally frivolous argument, but I very much doubt it would work in this instance. I think Congress could pass a resolution saying that the entire purpose for which it funds education in the USA is to produce a patriotic and productive future generation, and therefore any institution that preaches against patriotism is not one that the USA is interested in funding. I think that would take care of any first amendment objection.
I was being sarcastic. Claiming 1st Amendment the way Leftist do is the same rhetorical case as when they call everyone they disagree with “racist”.
DEI just won’t DIE.
Such Stage 5 Terminal TDS-driven virtue signaling is a lot more “fascistic” than the administration could even think about being.
Kids don’t even know what the word means but they get the ego charge of self righteous vengefulness from using it.
I want sanctuary from socialists and an increase in fraking so my gas bills go down. I’ll settle though for fraking of socalists.
I think you misspelled fragging.
Yes and no. The first time I should have spelled it as “fracking”. The second time is correct though. See Battlestar Galactica, the newer series.
But I also like the used of fragging as in “Socialists should just go frag themselves.”
Actually, frak was used as an expletive in the 1978 version as well as the reimagined Battlestar Galactica.
I didn’t realize that there were so many criminal aliens at Cornell.
Stupid kids “demand”…how generation Z of them.
Whenever I see “demand” I start to get angry. Who are they to demand. They should request politely. If someone came to me with a demand I would throw them out.
A new mole has just surfaced. Start the game.
