Students Demand 100+ Colleges Become "Sanctuary Campuses"
---------------------------------------------------------

Students at as many as 100 colleges and universities across the United
States Wednesday held protests demanding their schools become "sanctuary
campuses" that refuse to cooperate with immigration authorities carrying
out Trump's plan to deport millions of undocumented people. Speaking on
"60 Minutes" Sunday, Trump vowed to immediately deport up to 3 million
people. During his campaign, Trump also said he'd reverse President
Obama's executive orders, which include the program DACA-Deferred Action
for Childhood Arrivals-which has shielded 750,000 young people from
deportation. This is Marķa Maes of Columbia University.

Marķa Muratalla Maes: "I'm here to demand that President Bollinger of
Columbia University make my school, our school, a sanctuary campus and
also protect the financial aid of undocumented students on this campus
and their ability to work on campus."
