UAA officials provided no information on whether U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has recently operated on campus or if international students have been impacted by immigration policy.

After several email requests, UAA communications and public relations manager Catalina Myers offered no comment on a possible campus ICE presence or if students had been affected.

UAA international student advisor David Racki did not respond to a request for comment on the matter. 

Assistant director of admissions operations Nicole Fenton responded instead, stating the UAA admissions office was "unable to comment" and referred questions to UAA Marketing and Communications.

Several UAA students had their visas revoked following the Trump administration’s immigration policy changes in 2025, according to previous reporting from The Northern Light.
