Penn advises international students to carry immigration documents at all times

The University of Pennsylvania has advised its international students and scholars to carry their immigration documents at all times, as federal immigration enforcement activity intensifies across major U.S. cities.

In an email dated February 18 and obtained by The Daily Pennsylvanian, Penn’s International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) reiterated guidance on personal documentation and outlined steps for interacting with law enforcement officers.

The advisory also pointed students to support resources provided by the university’s Division of Public Safety (DPS).
