Campus Safety

Haverford is private property, and our protocols are clear: U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents are not permitted on campus without a judicial warrant or order.

• If you are approached by someone you believe to be an ICE agent, please call Campus Safety at 610-896-1111.
• If an ICE agent presents a subpoena or warrant, do not accept it. Instead, call Campus Safety immediately.

Students

• Students may not authorize ICE agents to enter campus buildings on Haverford property.
• Students may refuse access to ICE agents to enter student housing, unless the ICE agent has a judicial warrant to enter or search that clearly defines the premises to be searched and entered.
• If students receive an access request or observe ICE agents conducting enforcement activities on campus, they should contact Campus Safety at 610-896-1111.

Faculty and Staff

Faculty or staff approached by ICE should not authorize ICE agents to enter campus buildings or Haverford property.

• Ask for identifying credentials, a business card, and legal documents.
• Ask them to wait until you receive a response from Campus Safety; call 610-896-111 immediately.
• Do not accept service of a court order or subpoena.

Only designated staff should accept service of a court order or subpoena. In response to questions or attempts to service a warrant or subpoena, please say:

“I am not authorized by the College to grant permission to enter non-public areas, provide information about individual students or employees, or accept service of documentation on behalf of the College. I am not obstructing your duties, but I need guidance from the College before permitting your entry, providing information, or accepting service.” Then, call Campus Safety.

Best practices

• Do not hold doors open for people you don’t know.
• When in doubt, call Campus Safety.
• If you have not done so already, save Campus Safety’s phone number in your contacts: 610-896-1111.
