Know Your Rights: What to Do if External Law Enforcement Visits Campus
March 20, 2026
Review important Know Your Rights information and university protocols for on-site visits by external (non-Cornell) law enforcement on the university’s Executive Orders website (login required). The page includes a downloadable presentation from Cornell Law School’s Clinical Program.
On or off campus, it is Cornell’s policy that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents are only allowed to enter a closed university space or private residence if they have a valid judicial warrant or if someone voluntarily allows them to enter.
