Second student from the University of Minnesota owned by ice

The Minnesota State University Mankato was looking for answers on Monday after revealing that on its students was detained by ICE, one day after the immigration authorities arrested a student from the University of Minnesota.

MANKATO student was arrested by the US immigration and customs forces on Friday, on Friday, “for us that are unknown to us,” said President Edward Inch in a letter to the campus.

“The university has not received any ice information, they did not ask for any information from the university and MSU had no communication with them to date,” he wrote. “I contacted our elected officials of the state and the federal level to share my concern and ask for their help to slow down this activity within our learners’ campus community.”

The arrest was a subject during a rally on Monday on the University of Minnesota campus in Minneapolis, where students and members of the AFSCME local 3,800 and glu-EU unions called to the institution to protect workers “from Trump attacks”. They took alarms concerning the detention by ICE of an international business student in an out -of -campus residence last Thursday.

Unlike criminal arrests, immigration arrests are not documented in reports accessible to the public. Andria Waclawski, US Public Relations Director, said last week that the student U had asked for privacy and that the laws on the privacy of states and federals limited the information that school officials can share in such circumstances.

After a series of student speeches on Monday outside Morrill Hall, Max Vast, president of the local section 3800 of the ASCME, told the crowd that the state senator Omar Fateh had just spoken of the arrest of the Mankato student.

“There is no information on whom is the student, and they are unable to contact their family or their community, and they have not received any legal representation,” said Vast. “We are therefore here today to do this and these attacks continue to occur … We call the president of the President of the University of Minnesota (Rebecca) Cunningham but also leadership (Minnesota State Colleges and Universities) to do something on this subject.”

The demonstrators applauded and shouted: “More ice on the campus!”
