Students at Florida International University (FIU) are expressing fear following the university’s agreement with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to enforce immigration policies on campus, part of Florida’s broader initiative under Governor Ron DeSantis. Many students, particularly those without legal status, are anxious about potential deportations and are altering their campus routines to avoid police presence. This cooperation has sparked protests and calls from faculty for FIU to withdraw from the agreement, highlighting concerns about the implications for immigrant students in an institution with a predominantly Hispanic population.
