Students Oppose ICE

Chicano/Latino Law Students Association at Arizona State University’s Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law opposes inviting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to an upcoming job fair.
Maya Dominguez, a third-year law student and vice president, says inviting ICE would cause fear and family separation.
ASU says it cannot discriminate against agencies, but Dominguez argues safety should take priority.
