Harvard immigration activists furious that student newspaper asked ICE for comment | The College Fix: Activists at Harvard University are slamming the school’s student newspaper for reaching out to a federal immigration agency for comment on a campus controversy. That agency, meanwhile, is disputing claims that it would target members of the activist group due to the protest.

A petition circulated by the group Act on a Dream at Harvard College, noting a recent protest sponsored by that group that called for the abolition of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement department, sharply criticized The Harvard Crimson for “contact[ing] ICE for a request for comment on the protest.” Claiming that doing so “endangers undocumented students on campus,” the activists said that reaching out to the agency is the equivalent to “tipping them off.”
