College students protested a Border Patrol recruiting event. Now they’re going to face criminal charges.

The University of Arizona's football stadium in Tucson. By Antonia Noori Farzan Antonia Noori Farzan Reporter for Morning Mix Email Bio Follow April 2 at 6:28 AM To conservative commentators, they were proof of a “snowflake culture” that thrives on college campuses, guilty of harassing people whose views they disagreed with and blocking their constitutional right to free speech.

“They allow murderers to be on campus, where I pay to be here,” a young woman, who appears to be filming the officers through a door that has been left slightly ajar, says loudly. She continues, “This is supposed to be a safe space for students, but they allow an extension of the KKK into campus.” Describing the incident as “a dramatic departure from our expectations of respectful behavior and support for free speech on this campus,” Robbins said in his Friday letter that the university’s police department plans to charge the students with interfering with the peaceful conduct of an educational institution, a misdemeanor punishable by up to six months of jail time.

“I walked out of class and saw two Border Patrol agents in the hallway in Modern Languages, and I was like, ‘You’re supposed to be at the career fair that ended an hour ago,’” she said. “So then I was like, ‘Get out,’ and started chanting, disrupting that space until they left. Literally walked them all the way to their cars until they left.”

“I’m amazed that this individual was allowed to do this,” he said. “I’m a little upset because I know that the University of Arizona police department was called, and I don’t understand how nothing was done there.” Plenty of Border Patrol agents in the surrounding area regularly attend Wildcats games or are paying for their kids to attend Arizona, he added.

Figures. We live in a fascist state now.

Bullshit! They have every right to protest unless they got voilent!

UofA please stop this dumbshittery.

Good. Hopefully this trend continues and the children of the left start to learn that part of free speech involves respect for others'.

This is a fake story. realDonaldTrump promised that free speech on college campuses would be protected. Trump would never lie. This must be a fake story.

Somebody giving college students bad advice.Inferience with the government can put charges that will follow them a lifetime.

It's about time that the 'protesters' are locked up, they're not demonstrating, their rioting.

The charge is a misdeamor for being disruptive. The students were 'fearful' of the border 'murderers' so they got in their faces & reamed them out. Guess only they can have safe spaces while making life miserable for others. They are as shameful as your biased, divisive reporting

For protesting?

I'm sure all the right wingers that whine about free speech on campus will be all over this one! 🙃

Lock them up and expel them from school.

So the group who cries about freedom of speech on campuses wants to block freedom of speech on campuses?

Border Patrol Agency are fine. They are highly trained individuals who do a specific job properly. ICE agents are not. They are Political Hires with horrible training and little or no training in the area they supposed to specialize in ( Terroist Deterrent) It should be abolished

There is a change in the air.

Booooo!!!!
