Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) hosted a protest at the du Bois Center on April 10, with over 100 students marching to the newly leased Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) location off campus. The purpose of the protest was to fight against the organization’s increased presence in Flagstaff and express residents’ desire for immigrant safety.

The Flagstaff Police Department sent out a public announcement on March 26 stating that ICE was seeking to lease office space in the city.

Since March 27, 2022, El Salvador has been under a state of exception or emergency that suspended constitutional rights and allowed for mass incarceration of civilians. What began as a 30-day emergency measure transformed into an ongoing dismantlement of due process and justice in the name of public safety and security.

As a part of its war on gangs, the Salvadoran police arrested almost 100,000 people, overtaking the Central American country’s government for the world’s highest incarceration rate. Over 1.5% of El Salvador’s population is currently imprisoned.

NAU President José Luis Cruz Rivera sat down with The Lumberjack staff on March 16 to discuss the safety of transgender students, Greek life students and people of color on campus, funding for the university’s medical curriculum and NAU’s latest artificial intelligence (AI) initiatives, including Cline Library’s AI Hub.

The Lumberjack editorial board asked questions about the safety of genderqueer and transgender students on campus, as well as the recent death of 18-year-old Colin Daniel Martinez, who died of alcohol poisoning during a Delta Tau Delta fraternity pledge event on Jan. 30. Cruz Rivera said Martinez’s death was a “national tragedy.”
