ICE detained two SUNY Upstate Medical University employees in Syracuse on October 29. The two were attending an immigration hearing when they were detained. Their unions, United University Professions (UUP) and the Civil Service Employees Association (CSEA) have publicly denounced the detentions according to local media reports: “We condemn the actions taken by ICE today,” [UUP President] Kowal said in a UUP Facebook post, “we want our members to know that our union will stand shoulder to shoulder with them in the face of unlawful treatment.” SUNY University Faculty Senate (SUNY UFS) President Simon issued a statement in support of the two workers, denouncing the Trump administration’s actions as another attack on the U.S. Constitution and the American Dream.
