Dear UMBC Community,

The UMBC Core Team, a team composed of senior leadership that meets weekly to discuss updates related to all facets of federal policy changes, is writing about two items created to provide additional support and clarity regarding federal immigration enforcement: 1) a general information card, should a UMBC community member encounter a federal immigration enforcement agent, and 2) FAQs, which expand upon the items on the card.

You can now find a printable version of the general information card on the Federal Orders and Actions site; you will see a link to the printable card on the “Campus Communications” section of the home page. Click on the yellow box underneath the card that says “View General Information PDF” and you can print it from the screen that displays both the front and back of the card.

The related FAQs are the first questions and answers listed in the FAQs section on the same page.

The general information cards are currently being printed and will be available in several offices across campus soon; once the cards are available, we will send an update to campus.

Thank you.

Regards,

The UMBC Core Team
