Campus ICE Alerts

ICE Free Auraria's Campus ICE Alerts System

Because of the refusal of the Auraria Campus institutions to create a plan for an alerts system to be used to confirm the absence or presence of ICE, we have created a community-run, CORRN-informed alerts system. You can be added to our list here. Submit reports of ongoing ICE Activity to the Colorado Rapid Response Network (CORRN) by calling 844-864-8341 and pressing 1.

Our Confirmer Strategy

We have at least one person with access to send alerts on call at all times. Only those who have been trained by the Colorado Rapid Response Network (CORRN) as confirmers AND are part of our campus confirmer team have permissions to send a blast to those signed up to receive our alerts.

We have a dual strategy where we communicate with CORRN to ensure they have the most accurate information about any ICE activity on campus and we also inform the campus administrations and all who have signed up to our alerts list.

The purpose of confirming is to inform community about ICE presence and to confirm the absence of ICE presence when there is a rumor that ICE is present. We seek to minimize the number of false reports of ICE to decrease panic and to ensure that everyone is aware if ICE is on campus so that a community response may be mobilized and more vulnerable community members may make informed decisions about their presence on campus.

Why?

One of the violent things about immigration enforcement is false alarms. Having an establihsed, trained team to confirm whether ICE is actually present is a tried and tested way to decrease false alarms and the harm caused by them. Auraria Campus refuses to implement a plan for student, staff, and faculty notification of campus ICE presence.
