Dozens of students staged walkouts and protests over immigration enforcement in Texas even after the state’s governor warned against such actions, underscoring a widening standoff between activists and officials. Separately, the University of North Texas closed an art exhibition that referenced 'Immigration and Cruelty Enforcement,' a move critics said reflected political pressure on campus expression. Administrators and campus police are navigating protests, First Amendment concerns, and directives from state officials. These events highlight continuing tensions over immigration policy on campus, the operational burden on student‑affairs offices, and potential legal challenges as governors and legislatures push back against campus dissent.
