UCSD is a sanctuary campus. There are many, many undocumented students on campus and a very active undocumented student resource center. If they visit you on campus, they will not be required to produce papers for any immigration authorities nor will they have to cooperate with ICE for the duration of their visit. Unfortunately, there is some risk associated with being in San Diego off-campus (ICE occasionally sets up “random” checkpoints on I-5 near Carlsbad) but I don’t believe this is a stronger risk than that which exists in the Irvine or Goleta areas. Most importantly, don’t trip about it until you hear back from campus. They’re very keen to make sure students without documentation and their relatives without documentation feel welcomed on campus and can seek the education and opportunities they deserve.
