The University of Pennsylvania invited former ICE director Tom Homan to speak on immigration policies of the Trump and Obama administrations. He, along with two other panelists, never got to speak on the polarizing issue. Protesters shut down the event by chanting.
The University of Pennsylvania shut down an event Wednesday on immigrant detention and deportation after student protesters demonstrated against retired ICE Director Tom Homan's appearance on the panel.
Appearing on "Fox & Friends: First" with anchors Todd Piro and Carley Shimkus, Homan said that he had received a warning before he even got on the train to Philadelphia that there was a petition from over 500 students and alumni to cancel the event. The petition also called for the university to ban all invitations to current or former ICE or U.S. Customs and Border Patrol officials.
Dozens of people from other universities had also signed the petition, including students from Columbia University, Cornell University, Brown University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University.
