Student protest overwhelms anti-immigrant event at ASU

By AZ Mirror

On the same day that a white supremacy aligned university club encouraged students to report their classmates to ICE, hundreds of Arizona State University Sun Devils responded by marching in support of their undocumented classmates. 

Crowds of students waving Mexican flags and posters with supportive messages, including “Education not deportation” and “Stand with ASU Dreamers,” surrounded a small gathering of College Republicans United at Hayden Library as they held up their own signs with information on how to tip off immigration officials about classmates suspected of being in the country illegally. 

Loud shouts of “Down with deportation!”” and “No hate, no fear, everyone is welcome here!” resounded throughout the campus. 

Earlier this week, College Republicans United announced on social media that it would staff a table at the university’s central building to provide information on how to file reports against classmates believed to be undocumented, including recipients of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals — people with temporary authorization who wouldn’t be subject to President Donald Trump’s mass deportation plan.
