Dear Roadrunners:
We are aware of questions within our community regarding news coverage of an increase in
immigration enforcement across the nation. With guidance from the University of Texas (UT)
System, we have an update and resources to share regarding U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (ICE) and our institution.
As a Texas educational institution, UTSA must follow all applicable state and federal
laws, as well as UT System policies, regarding cooperation with federal authorities. We
will carefully review any requests from authorities on a case-by-case basis and will
consult with UT System as needed.
If students, faculty or staff have any concerns, please contact the following offices

which provides additional guidance regarding steps to take if you receive a request from

as the situation evolves.
