        Sorry, no, I’m on your side regarding the morality of all this stuff but that doesn’t make university a carceral institution.

            You haven’t provided any pro arguments. “They collaborated with ICE” is not an argument that the purpose of the university system is to contain people against their will. It tells us the administrators are evil, sure. It tells us about the role of universities in enforcing the kind of discourse allowed in our society. But the jail that ICE takes people to is the carceral institution, not the university they take them from.
