Woke California College Students Force School to Cut Ties With Border Patrol

The University of California, San Diego is ending its partnership with a federal program that saw school police work with the US Border Patrol after students erupted in protest over the relationship.

The university no longer participates in the Department of Homeland Security’s Operation Stonegarden grant program, which helps California law enforcement agencies work with US Customs and Border Protection on securing the border.

Much of the program has been aimed at targeting drug and human trafficking, not immigration enforcement, according to an internal email from the school’s chancellor reviewed by CalMatters.

Campus police at UC San Diego had been receiving funds from the grant since 2012.

In February, CalMatters reported how school police used the grant to patrol sections of the coastline near campus. Students opposing President Trump’s immigration agenda grew angry, claiming the program puts students who were illegal immigrants and other international students at risk.

Students reportedly emailed administrators and threatened to hold large gatherings. In late February, the campus police chief agreed to leave the grant program in a private meeting with Dixit.
