What they're saying:
ASU students rallied together to protest.
"We're here to help protect our students against these attacks on our freedoms and our liberties by the Trump administration. Especially international students who are facing these punishments disproportionately," said Evan Silverberg, an ASU student.
The protesters believe many of their fellow international classmates are being targeted by school administrators.
Public universities across Arizona recommend all visa-carrying students to keep their immigration documents on them at all times.
