Boston College student government releases statement condemning ICEOn 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.”
