Please feel free to distribute this information widely to anyone you think could benefit and contribute any knowledge or tips you have to this thread! I am not an expert, just a concerned educator doing my best.

Please note that administrative and DHS warrants are not sufficient to override FERPA!

Second, I recommend printing a copy of your institution's FERPA quick guide to have on hand. If you are questioned about one of your students, you can reference/provide the FERPA document which outlines all the information we cannot legally disclose about a student absent a valid judicial warrant.

There is also a statement that can be read or handed to an ICE agent. I have been printing these to have in my office, on my person, and delivering them around my campus to high-traffic buildings and relevant offices.

A resource I recommend are the "Red Cards" or "Know your rights" cards produced by the Immigrant Legal Resource Center. They have printable PDFs in many languages that when printed and cut make small wallet-sized cards that outline the rights people can exercise when approached by ICE.
