Guidance on engaging with federal immigration law enforcement:
-
While the university’s Office of the General Counsel cannot consult on individual cases or personal matters, ASOSU Student Legal Services provides services to ASOSU-fee paying students through Access the Law.
-
Anyone can access the Lawyer Referral Service from the Oregon State Bar, and the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) Immigration Lawyer Referral Service provides referrals to immigration attorneys across the U.S.
-
If a member of the OSU community is detained or arrested on an OSU location or campus and you witness it, do not directly interfere. Rather, stay calm and gather as much information as possible without direct interference, such as documentation of date, time, location and any information related to the agency or agencies involved. This could include official agency names and badge numbers.
-
Immediately report engagement with law enforcement to the OSU Office of the General Counsel at 541-737-8332.
