ICE Withdraws From Career Event at Arizona State U. Law School Due to Student Petition
“The National Lawyers Guild created the petition after NLG officer and law student Koby Preston noticed ICE listed as a participant in the event.”
This sends a very clear message to the left that they will exploit in other places.

Student-led petition forces ICE to back out of ASU Law School career event
The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement withdrew from participating in an Arizona State University Law School event set for Thursday following a student-led petition.
ICE had planned to host a table at the Government and Public Interest Table Talks event until 650 people signed a petition to protest the federal law enforcement agency’s participation, according to The State Press.
Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law Dean Stacy Leeds sent an email to the school’s students on Jan. 21, notifying them that ICE had backed out of the event. She also told students the school does not discriminate against government agencies.
“Employers independently decide whether to participate in any given event, just as students decide which employers they wish to engage with,” Leeds stated.
“Our goal remains to ensure that all JD students have access to information and opportunities that allow them to make informed, individual decisions about their career paths, while maintaining compliance with applicable laws and supporting a wide range of professional interests,” she stated.
The law school hosts the event every year to give students an opportunity to meet employers.

The petition also received endorsements from key student organizations at ASU, including the Native American Law Student Association and the Chicano/Latino Law Students Association.
ASU groups such as Students for Justice in Palestine, Planned Parenthood Generation Action, and the Young Democratic Socialists of America promoted the petition on social media.
In an Instagram post celebrating the move, NLG wrote, “This moment underscores a shared commitment to ensuring that ASU Law remains a place where all students—especially immigrant students, students of color, and those with impacted families—can learn, participate, and pursue public service without fear.”

Lefty be in charge of all three AZ state colleges. Everybody knows it.
Is there any way the Federal government can a) claw back every dime ASU has gotten but not spent and b) prevent its getting another dime in the future?
