After Immigration Officer Was Forced From Classroom, Students Lament a Missed Opportunity

As her Northwestern University course "Social Inequality: Race, Class & Power" wound down for the semester, Beth Redbird decided to let the students choose the topic of the final unit. They settled on a contentious issue: immigration. So Ms. Redbird, an assistant professor of sociology, invited a representative from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, to speak to the class on Tuesday. She wanted the representative to answer students’ questions about the immigration system, and she had also invited an undocumented immigrant to speak later in the week
