Employee Guidelines for Responding to Immigration Inquiries

Shoreline Community College DACA Statement

Students should be reassured that they can safely participate in a college education at Shoreline without the College collecting or sharing immigration information in situations not required by law. If anyone is approached by a federal enforcement agent, please immediately redirect them to Campus Safety, 5102.

To ensure clarity across campus, please review the following informational items:

  • We do not share immigration information with federal enforcement agents unless required to do so by law, which will usually involve a lawful subpoena or warrant.
      • To ensure appropriate response, the College consults with legal counsel in response to all immigration-related subpoenas and/or warrants.
  • Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents need a valid warrant to enter non-public areas such as classrooms, offices, and areas that are only for students/staff.
  • Employees should not be involved in reviewing documents/determining agent rights to access. The employee's only role is to redirect the agent to Campus Safety.
  • We do not collect immigration information from students for the purpose of assisting immigration officials.
      • Inquiries related to immigration status, place of birth, or citizenship, are prohibited except where required by law.
  • Campus Safety will not request or ask questions related to a student's immigration data.
