The University of North Florida’s agreement with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has been approved and finalized, according to ICE records, officially allowing UPD officers to be trained for immigration enforcement.

On Monday afternoon, Spinnaker was made aware of the finalized agreement and requested a statement from a UNF spokesperson at 3:25 p.m. that same day. At 5:21 p.m., UNF President Moez Limayem sent a university-wide email notifying the campus of the finalized agreement—seven days after the agreement was finalized. At the time of publication, Spinnaker has yet to receive a response from the UNF spokesperson.
