University of Georgia students and alumni stood outside of the career fair being held at the Classic City Center, February 4th, to protest ICE and their presence at the fair.
Inside the fair, the Border Patrol booth was actively recruiting, but they clarified that they were not a part of Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
However, the distinction did not keep protesters away. “I just want to warn the students that they have been doing illegal things, at least the ICE part of Homeland Security has.” That was Sandy Whitney, 74, who is a UGA alumni.
UGA Senior Cameryn Carr says that she is appalled that ICE is attempting to recruit UGA students. “We have people being racially profiled and targeted under a fascist regime and the students aren't here for it.”
While ICE and Border Patrol both operate under the Department of Homeland Security, they are separate entities.
