A student at the University of Minnesota tells Alpha News she had to take part in what her professor called an "'ICE drill" during class.
The student said it was meant to teach students how to respond if ICE ever came to the class—and how white students needed to use their bodies to "cover" and "shield" other students who may be likely targets of immigration enforcement.
The student, who initially did not want to be anonymous but did so to protect family and friends, said that as a future educator, “I would never ever instruct my own students to put their own safety on the line.”
The university told Alpha News it is aware of the situation and conducting a thorough review.
