WASHINGTON - s4story -- Despite strong concerns by students at the country's most politically active campus that national guardsmen have been spotted in a non-public indoor campus building at George Washington University [GWU] where access requires tapping a GWU ID card onto a card reader next to the entrance door, GWU has adopted only a halfway (some say halfass) policy designed to keep them out of only some indoor areas, reports public interest law professor John Banzhaf. . . .

But GWU's new policy purports to ban federal personnel only from certain floors (but not others) in some GWU buildings, and does little if anything to protect students elsewhere, including all of the outdoor areas on the campus where students can be snatched up as they go from building to building, and ICE agents can lie in wait for a target to leave a scheduled class. . . .

Ironically Banzhaf - a former security officer and security consultant whose safety and security suggestions have been adopted by GWU - has provided a legal analysis of how any university can legally ban ICE agents (and therefore presumably also national guard troops) from all parts of its campus, outdoors as well as indoors, just as it bans those with drugs or who are smoking.  See:

UNIVERSITY WORLD NEWS - ICE-Free Campuses: Will Universities Take the Next Step? (https://www.universityworldnews.com/post.php?story=20251029081248878)

He notes that several cities, as well as a growing number of restaurants and other businesses, have already banned ICE agents from all portions of their properties, including those portions open to the general public.

It appears that ICE agents, if not armed with a warrant signed by a judge, have generally respected restrictions on their movements imposed by universities, and have not tried to force their way into dormitories, classrooms, and other clearly non-public areas on campus. Therefore, they may well abide by other restrictions universities may impose, including an entire ICE-free campus.

If not, any arrests or other detentions which may occur could be challenged in court since they were accomplished only through illegal trespass by ICE, says the law professor. . .
