If Approached by an Officer with an Immigration Warrant on Campus
Do not engage directly or attempt to interpret or comply with the warrant. Instead, follow these steps:
-
Refer the officer to the appropriate contact:
-
Graduate students and TAs: Direct the officer to your department or division’s Student Affairs Office.
-
Faculty and staff: Refer the officer to your supervisor or Chief Administrative Officer (CAO).
-
-
The designated contact (Student Affairs, supervisor, or CAO) should:
-
Immediately email a copy of the warrant to: WarrantQuestions@ucsd.edu
-
An attorney will review the warrant and respond with guidance.
-
Following this protocol ensures that legal documents are reviewed properly and that the rights of all campus community members are protected.
