I’m chair of our faculty union delegates assembly, and have been involved with conversations around what to do if ICE shows up for several months. We requested, and received, instructions from the university general counsel that was helpful but remains incomplete. In particular and related to the scenario you describe is that while we can block agents from entering our private space (which includes classroom) we lack clarity on where the boundaries are between private and public. Rooms vs hallways? Inside versus outside? What about courses with outdoor components? Sand then there are the (unionized) staff from all across the globe.

We have asked for details on the public v private space, but I really like the idea of using our alert system. We already get alerts not only for threats on campus but also for dangerous situations in town.

Kidnappings should qualify!
