WASHINGTON - s4story -- Students and faculty at Columbia University were arrested Thursday for illegally protesting to get it to become a sanctuary campus.

Although dozens of universities claim to have established a true sanctuary campus, it appears that none have in fact done so, including places open to the general public - as a growing number of businesses have already done, says public interest law professor John Banzhaf.

Many months ago the law professor provided a legal analysis of how universities could keep their entire campus ICE free, and what the legal impact of that action would be.  See, e.g.:

The activist professor has also outlined steps which universities can take which will provide far more real protection for students than just issuing statements, etc.

For example, universities might:
■ Post signs all over campus that immigration enforcement agents may not enter even into places such as outdoors, entrance areas to many buildings, etc. which are normally open to the public.
■ Use the systems already set up to alert the university community to other dangers to send immediate alerts if agents are spotted on or even near the campus.

■ Provide a mechanism so that anyone on or near campus could text the university if agents are spotted so that the university could then use its alert system to provide notice.
■ Add to existing university cell phone apps a button students could use if they are apprehended to alert the university, as well as anyone on a call list established by the student (e.g. family, friends, a lawyer, etc.)
■ Explain to students how they can set things up so that parents, trusted friends, their lawyer, etc. can track their cell phone, smart watch, and even suitcase trackers hidden on their person if they are apprehended by ICE.
■ Urge all U.S. citizens to have an image of their U.S. passport on their cell phone and/or smart watches to be able to promptly establish their citizenship if necessary; its much safer than carrying an actual passport.
■ Urge students who are not U.S. citizens but in the country lawfully (for example, on a valid student or work visa) to have images of their Global Entry card or REAL ID driver's license with them.
