institutional Policies

Accordingly, we do not provide information on a student’s citizenship or immigration status to any person, organization or government agency, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), except as required by law. This means that such information will not be disclosed in the absence of a state or federal law requiring the university to provide such information; a valid subpoena; or a court-issued warrant for that specific information.

As a matter of protocol, W&M Police do not inquire about a person’s immigration status. This includes any person who interacts with them as a victim, witness, concerned citizen, motor vehicle driver, or in any other related role regarding police services or assistance. Local law enforcement does not have an obligation to perform mandatory immigration enforcement duties. Immigration is a federal law enforcement responsibility. W&M Police do not detain any individual solely on the belief that they are not legally present in the United States, or that they committed a civil immigration violation. W&M Police do not contact Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) with suspicions or allegations that an individual may not be legally present in the United States.

(Ed. Source link provides additional detail on what ICE can and cannot do on campus)
