US Visa/green card holders are protected by laws
Examples:
Immigration/Nationality Act (rights to live/work in the country, protections against discrimination/unlawful removal)
They are also entitled to due process under U.S. law (ensures fair treatment in legal proceedings)
Columbia has welcomed cooperation with ICE, but Riverside Church (which hosts Columbia classes) is following NYC's sanctuary laws.
In the event ICE that goes after more students, do they follow Columbia's guidance, or Riverside's?
The signatories include three NYC mayoral candidates: @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social, @bradlander.bsky.social and @nycspeakeradams.bsky.social.
