Guidance on engaging with federal immigration law enforcement
- It is WOU’s standard practice to refer all federal immigration officials and related inquiries to Campus Public Safety (call or text 503.838.9000) and the Office of the General Counsel (call 503.838.9471). Consult Campus Public Safety and/or the Office of the General Counsel before responding to any request for immigration information. Campus Public Safety is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
- 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 WOU community is detained or arrested at WOU in Monmouth or Salem and you witness it, do not directly interfere. Stay calm and gather as much information as safely possible without direct interference, such as documenting the date, time, location, and any information related to the involved agency(ies).
- Immediately report engagement with law enforcement to Campus Public Safety at 503.838.9000.
