It
is
plain
knowledge
that
Georgetown
Law
is
great
if
you’d
like
to
transition
your
legal
career
toward
working
for
the
government.
That
said,
working
for
ICE
probably
isn’t
as
good
a
line
on
your
resume
as
you’d
like
it
to
be.
Killing
people
is
one
thing
—
ICE-related
deaths
have
been
on
the
rise
and
folks
haven’t
paid
it
much
mind
—
but
their
lawlessness
ramping
up
to
the
point
that
they’re
just
casually
violating
the
civil
rights
of
officers
and
arresting
them
isn’t
going
to
look
good
once
the
nation
overcomes
this
fever
dream:
This
is
the
exact
sort
of
behavior
you’d
expect
after
JD
Vance
and
The
Pop-Tart
Man
go
about
telling
the
poorly
trained
slave
catchers
demanding
freedom
papers
that
they
have
absolute
or
federal
immunity
to
fuck
with
whomever
they
please.
Despite
JD
Vance’s
black
eyeliner
crocodile
tears
about
how
he’s
the
real
victim
because
enabling
Trump’s
secret
police
made
it
hard
for
him
to
enjoy
Disneyland
with
his
kids,
the
social
consequences
of
being
associated
with
ICE
continue.
Namely,
Georgetown
Law
students
are
petitioning
for
ICE
and
the
DHS
to
be
removed
from
the
school’s
career
fair.
The
Hoya
has
coverage:
More
than
1,100
students,
graduates
and
student
organizations
have
signed
the
petition
calling
on
Georgetown
Law
and
the
George
Washington
University
Law
School,
which
is
jointly
hosting
the
event,
to
remove
ICE
and
DHS
from
the
Public
Sector
Recruiting
Program
(PSRP),
a
virtual
career
fair
for
students
interested
in
working
in
the
public
sector.
The
petition
also
asks
the
universities
not
to
invite
ICE
and
DHS
to
any
future
career
fairs
or
school
events.
…
“[W]e
do
not
want
ICE
on
our
campus,
whether
virtually
or
in-person
because
it
harms
our
students,”
[Annie]
Gillani
told
The
Hoya.
“It
sends
a
message
that
it’s
okay
for
Georgetown
students
to
be
working
at
agencies
that
are
ripping
families
apart,
killing
people
and
destroying
our
immigrant
communities.”
While
this
career
fair
is
a
virtual
one,
the
further
demand
for
ICE
and
DHS
to
keep
away
from
future,
potentially
in-person
recruitment
events
is
a
smart
one.
There
wasn’t
as
much
fear
when
“Kavanaugh
stops”
blessed
ICE
to
racially
profile
anyone
who
didn’t
look
like
they
came
from
a
long
line
of
WASPs,
but
now
that
white
soccer
moms
and
police
officers
are
proving
to
be
just
as
vulnerable,
the
fiction
that
ICE
only
goes
after
deserving
criminals
or
“are
just
doing
their
job
to
keep
us
safe”
is
progressively
getting
harder
to
maintain
for
a
lot
of
people.
Some
people
are
late
to
the
party,
but
they’re
welcome
nonetheless.
Georgetown
law
students
stepping
out
as
some
of
the
first
in
the
T14
isn’t
surprising.
They
put
their
actions
where
there
morals
were
when
they
called
Skadden
a
bunch
of
cowards
and
decided
to
opt
out
of
a
recruitment
event
last
year.
The
career
fair
is
scheduled
for
the
23rd.
Hopefully
the
only
ICE
in
attendance
will
be
chilling
drinks
rather
than
civil
liberties.
