“For many in this population, the presence of U.S. Customs and Border Protection representatives on campus—regardless of their intentions or reasons for being there—can cause undue distress and concern.'
After the campus and surrounding community raised concerns, U.S. Customs and Border Protection was asked to not attend a San Jose City College job fair on the basis that it could cause “undue distress and concern.”
Brown pointed to an all-campus message Acting President Elizabeth Pratt sent on Monday morning addressing the situation. Pratt noted CBP’s inclusion in the event “understandably caused concern” among the campus and wider community. “For many in this population, the presence of U.S. Customs and Border Protection representatives on campus—regardless of their intentions or reasons for being there—can cause undue distress and concern,” Pratt said in her message. “This is something we strive to prevent whenever possible for this already vulnerable population.”
Dump Trump San Jose, an activist group, encouraged people to call the college and request that Border Patrol not be included in the job fair. On Monday, the group posted on Facebook that they “won” and that the government agency was removed from the event.
