Subject: Immigration Enforcement and the Safety of the UMass Boston Community

Dear Member,



With the start of the new Trump administration, officers enforcing immigration 
laws will now be able to enter and make arrests at schools, churches, and 
hospitals. The safety of all community members – students, faculty, librarians 
and staff—is paramount.  We are committed to making sure our classrooms and 
campus spaces remain places of gathering and engagement where all are welcomed 
and feel safe.



Our parent union, NEA, has provided some initial resources. FSU has asked 
administration to clarify the university’s position and instructions in the 
event that ICE officers enter our campus for the purpose of detaining members 
of our community. We will keep you apprised of any additional information we 
receive. Please reach out to us if you have any concerns or questions.



Sincerely,



Caroline Coscia                                   Sana Haroon
