What steps is my college taking to ensure undocumented students are safe and protected from federal immigration enforcement on campus?
The Coast District has designated itself as a “safe campus,” meaning campus public safety will not collaborate with federal immigration enforcement agencies like ICE. Staff and faculty should refer any inquiries from ICE to public safety, who will contact the President’s office and assist the immigration officials.
Coastline: (714) 241-6040
Golden West: (714) 895-8999
Orange Coast: (714) 432-5017
Recommended language if approached by immigration officials requiring you to call public safety: I am not impeding progress; I am reaching out to get the proper person to assist.
