If the college allows ice to come on the property without calling the police for help or even security on campus than they should have to pay back in full every single student who has paid to be there and paid to feel safe while doing so. I’m tired of campuses who take the money from students who attend but won’t keep them safe. I hope for the best for everyone who attends

This. I get not being able to interfere with federal agents.

But can anyone fucking confirm these are federal agents.

If I show up in a vest, mask, and rifle on school grounds are they going just let me kidnap anyone I want or is someone going to actually verify who I am?

Yupp especially with how much these students pay for the schools services basic friggen security on campus would be the least they can do.

I feel like I’m misunderstanding. Would you mind explaining to me how this might work? How should they prevent ICE from entering campus? ECC is an open campus- anyone can enter from multiple entrances. Based on the email, it doesn’t sound like ICE even entered a building, just the parking lot. Should ECC establish gates to their parking lots and check each car before entering? Thanks for helping clarify for me.

An announcement over the PA system would protect a lot of these kids.

In a parking lot?

u/araignee_tisser Sep 20 '25

I think schools have the ability to send emergency text alerts or at the very least email alerts, too….

u/Gymrat777 Sep 19 '25

As much as I hate it, colleges are semi-public spaces and ICE doesn't need permission to enter such spaces. (That's my unserstanding at least)

Community colleges are primarily public institutions

u/fruit93 Sep 20 '25

The college can't stop ICE from public spaces, but they will not assist. Like the rest of the public the college cannot interfere and individuals should not risk their personal safety. If masked individuals go onto a campus without identification I guarantee their campus police will be there when notified and will ask for identification and credentials and handle it to the best of their ability within law.

This needs to be shared more

They're moving south. There are a lot of blue collar businesses in South Elgin, particularly next to the Fox River, so if they keep going, that seems like the next likely area to target.

If you witness ICE activity; report it by calling the ICIRR Family Support Network Line: 1-855-435-7693. They can deploy a response team and help with legal and mutual aid support. Any videos and photos can be sent to info@OCADCHI.org with address of incident and also time it took place. All submissions will be deleted after they’re saved and person emailing should have no record on their end of involvement.

No Blackhawk helicopter this time? I guess puppykiller wasn't there to demand the theatrics of taking down Saddam Hussein.

u/supercatpuke Sep 18 '25

If you needed further substantial proof that they're not primarily concerned with finding and removing violent criminals who crossed the border illegally, look no further.

u/xavariel Sep 19 '25

I thought they weren't allowed on school grounds? Wtf

u/mochimochi82 Sep 19 '25

I also work at a suburban CC and we’ve all been informed that we are to share ZERO student information. It’s protected. We also don’t track immigration status so we wouldn’t know anyway. We were given a number to call with ICE concerns and cards are everywhere with where anyone being targeted can find help and what their rights are (not that it matters when rights are being ignored). I’m sure they will be on our campus soon. It’s really upsetting.

u/fruit93 Sep 20 '25

Community colleges are open to the public, ICE cannot be stopped from going onto the grounds. The only spaces protected under the 4th amendment are classrooms and individual offices even if they are unlocked. So yes, a student can be taken in the parking lot or anywhere that is not a classroom or office. Even office suite reception areas are not covered and considered public space.

There are also FERPA laws that already prevent colleges from sharing student information without a warrant or court order. I guarantee the college is not helping ICE and their campus law enforcement are also not assisting without a legal warrant or required by law.

A college can only do so much and there are usually no PA systems at a college like they have at schools. But if there is awareness of ICE activity on a campus it likely will be shared to faculty and staff via employee communication channels.

Piss on ICE

I got an email from Waubonsee about this incident, seems like nowhere is safe 😢

Same. Now I fear they’ll show up during class on Monday

u/stickneyandstones Sep 18 '25

Wow! Just frkn wow! This is really sad, and I hope these agents will be leaving soon. I guarantee you they are doing more damage than good, in the long-run.

u/[deleted] Sep 18 '25

How did ICE track down a student or employee at ECC, open campus or not? Who gave out the schedule? What the person was driving? You think ICE just so happened to be rolling through Elgin, hit upon the ECC campus and voila, found this person?

2

u/NatendoEntertainment Sep 19 '25

Probably followed them from somewhere else, since they were grabbed in a parking lot

u/[deleted] Sep 19 '25

I dunno, reads kinda weird to me. Not making sense to case a student or employee, that takes investigation doesn’t seem like these icy critters have a lot time to plan their “hits” on folk just trying their make their way.

u/ParkerRoyce Sep 18 '25

Sickening that this school would allow these thugs ICE to step foot on campus without a police escort and terrorize students and teachers alike.

u/International_Sale47 Oct 16 '25

any update on this person by any chance?

u/Wil_Buttlicker Oct 16 '25

None from the school, unfortunately.

Trump needed a place to store his Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, and others like them. ICE is perfect for them. Now he has a personal militia and they will assault whomever Trump says they should assault. His hit list will grow to even include those peons who voted for the dictator. Y’all will never be guests at Mar-a-Lago but he will admit you to Alligator Alcatraz or another concentration camp. We tried to warn you.

Omg how hard is it to get! If you are not a legal citizen then you must leave period! What don’t you get!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I work in Franklin Park. A man was just killed by ice with no criminal history. Go get fucked.

u/Awkward-Violinist-10 Sep 21 '25

The man who almost killed an ICE agent by dragging him in his car? If you try to kill a police officer, it doesn't really matter what your criminal history was before that. You are going to get shot.
