ICE Information (will be updated as information changes) Our program is committed to inclusiveness and welcomes students and coaches from all identities and social roles. In light of ongoing harassment and discrimination, and the current administration's most recent action to repeal DACA, our programs stand in solidarity with, and will continue to offer a safe, educational space for our most vulnerable members. The University of Illinois has joined with 698 other Universities to show official support for DACA and to call for its continuation and expansion. The University of Illinois has its own campus police and has not declared itself a sanctuary campus, but U of I police do not have a history of cooperating with ICE that we are aware of.
Urbana is a sanctuary city; Champaign is not. Urbana police will generally not help the government investigate immigration status unless there is a court order to do so. With that said, ICE has been sporadically active in both Urbana and Champaign over the past year, and we have reason to believe that Champaign County Sheriff Dan Walsh has cooperated with ICE in the past. To mitigate risk, we would recommend staying in hotels that are in Urbana.
The State of Illinois recently signed into law the TRUST Act which enacted the nation’s strongest state-level due process protections for immigrants who fear any interaction with local police could result in deportation. We have found the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights to be a useful resource.
