The full story

Students at Florida A&M University gathered on campus to protest the university police department's participation in the federal government's 287(g) program. Organized by the campus chapter of Students for a Democratic Society, the demonstration took place on Friday, October 23, coinciding with the university's homecoming celebrations in Tallahassee. Participants argued that the partnership with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement endangers international and immigrant students, erodes trust in campus police, and discourages students from seeking help. The agreement was signed in spring 2025. Demonstrators also raised broader concerns regarding university leadership under President Marva Johnson.
