Student Government at Stanford Endorses Anti-ICE Walkout

This is not surprising. Stanford has become a hotbed of crazy leftism in recent years.

‘Significant harm’: Stanford student gov’t endorses anti-ICE walkout

Immigration and Custom Enforcement’s “documented history of inflicting significant harm on immigrant communities and communities of color nationwide,” prompted the Stanford University student government to support a nationwide “walkout” last Friday.

The Undergraduate Senate accused ICE agents of creating harm via “aggressive raids, family separation, prolonged detention, racial profiling, and the use of force in civilian spaces, resulting in lasting psychological, economic, and physical harm to students and their families.”

The resolution passed the student senate 11-0 on Wednesday and the Graduate Student Council 11-0-2 on Thursday.

“This is calling for collective amplification that turns moments of grief, anger, fear … [into] a demonstration,” Undergraduate Senate Chair David Sengthay told the Stanford Daily.

Stanford student, and Minneapolis native Sabrina Deriche, said she wants ICE abolished.

“Shut it down until ICE is no longer on anyone’s streets,” she said, according to the student newspaper.

The signers included Students for Justice in Palestine, the Black Student Union, and Fossil Free Stanford, as well as the InterVarsity Christian Fellowship.

The student government representatives criticized Minneapolis’ Operation Metro Surge, which sought to remove illegal immigrants from the streets of the Minnesota city. During this operation, two anti-ICE activists were killed during confrontations with federal law enforcement.

Both Renee Good and Alex Pretti appear to have been involved with anti-ICE groups that sought to disrupt law enforcement operations.

Video released by the BBC last week shows an irate Pretti kicking out the taillight of an officer’s car just days before he was killed during a fight with ICE agents.

Minnesota officials have tried to stop Operation Metro Surge through judicial fiat. However, a judge ruled over the weekend that ICE could continue operations, according to CBS News.
