posted on YouTube<\/a>, San Diego Community College District (SDCCD) Chancellor Greg Smith denounced the action and said ICE has left the campus and the surrounding area.<\/p>\n“This is a very unfortunate incident,” he said in the video. “No student, employee or member of our community should be afraid when they come to school, or they come to work or they come to participate in the many activities and services we offer.”<\/p>\n
City College said the campus remains open and classes are continuing as scheduled Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Under California law, campus police and college district employees are forbidden to participate in, assist with or coordinate in ICE enforcement activities.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis intrusion by law enforcement is both disruptive, unwelcome, and in conflict with the SDCCD\u2019s core values,\u201d Beresford said. \u201cThe safety and well-being of students and employees will always be the district\u2019s highest priority, and we remain committed to maintaining access to all members of our community.\u201d<\/p>\n
The college said it is providing counseling and legal services to students, employees and anyone affected by ICE enforcement actions Tuesday.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe understand this news may be unsettling for members of our community,\u201d Cesar Gumapas, the college communication officer, said in an email to students, faculty and staff. \u201cYour safety, and the safety of every student and employee, remains our top priority.\u201d<\/p>\n
