ASU group plans event to report classmates to ICE

A conservative student group at Arizona State University, College Republicans United, is organizing an event encouraging students to report classmates to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), citing insufficient deportations under the Trump Administration. The event, scheduled for January 31, has drawn criticism from various advocacy groups and Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes, who emphasized the need for safety among all students, particularly those with Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) status. Isaiah Alvarado, the group's president, framed the initiative as a patriotic act, while opponents argue it fosters fear and discrimination on campus. The group has faced backlash for its ties to extremist ideologies, with critics labeling the event as hate-driven. University officials have yet to comment on the situation. The controversy highlights the ongoing national debate over immigration enforcement and the impact of such policies on local communities.
