BU Student Faces Backlash After Allegedly Calling for ICE Arrests
Following an ICE raid at an Allston car wash, Boston University alumni and residents condemned the BU College Republicans president, Zachary Segal, for claiming credit for the raid after posting that he had contacted ICE for months. Community members expressed outrage and called on the university to address Segal’s actions, citing a responsibility for students to be good neighbors and for BU to foster positive town-gown relations. Several alumni, including those who had made donations to the university, expressed their disgust and called for disciplinary actions against Segal. Despite the backlash, neither Segal nor the College Republicans club responded to requests for comments.
