Dear Students,

We have experienced an unimaginable week here in Minneapolis, amid sharply escalated  Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activity. 

Among other very upsetting events, Minneapolis resident Renee Good was killed by an ICE officer within two miles of MCAD. We learned, also, the devastating news that one of our employees was detained by ICE off campus. We are doing all we can to support this individual and their family.
