Boston College student government releases statement condemning ICE
On Feb. 13, the Undergraduate Government of Boston College in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts issued a statement condemning U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) months after a lone ICE vehicle was spotted near BC’s lower campus in October.
University officials and local media have not reported any additional vehicle sightings, as reported by The Boston Heights.
The statement did not reference any recent ICE activity on or near campus and cited “the escalation of ICE’s violent behavior throughout our nation,” but did not provide examples involving Boston College students.
In its Instagram post, UGBC signaled unity “with immigrant, international, and other affected student communities” in the wake of “the fear caused and violence spread by the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement.”
The statement did not acknowledge students or organizations that support ICE’s enforcement efforts.
Boston College is not the only campus where students have mobilized in opposition to immigration enforcement efforts.
At Harvard University, undergraduate students have prepared asylum claims while law students have worked to fight deportations in court.
UGBC advised students to review “available resources” outlined in a previous Instagram post. The pinned post does not mention ICE by name, but describes steps UGBC took in the wake of the sighting, including involvement “in the Global Picnic sponsored by the Office of Global Education.”

Dimwits. There is no escalation of violence and any violence has been initiated by the left.
For some unfortunate souls hatred is simply too useful a tool to ever give it up. So instead of trying to grow past their own personal traumas and painful inadequacies they find something or someone to hate. The Left is not unique in this respect, extremist movements of all varieties find hatred to be quite effective for recruiting and motivating new adherents. Concentrations of young people and especially students offer fertile hunting grounds for progressive extremists due to their vulnerabilities and the enhanced access facilitated by radical faculty and craven administrators. So they are ripe for lessons on how to hate. They can then be easily reprogrammed about who to hate. It could just as easily be police, Jews, white people, capitalists, Republicans or ICE. Once stirred up properly they can be used to destabilize society in a myriad of ways.
