BU SILENCED: Student Targeted with DEATH THREATS for Reporting Illegals!

A college student found himself facing a torrent of violent threats, not for anything he said, but for fulfilling what he believed was a civic duty. Zac Segal, president of the College Republicans at Boston University, reported suspected illegal activity to federal authorities, triggering a wave of online harassment and real-world danger.

Segal’s actions led to the arrest of nine individuals. He openly shared his concerns about American jobs being impacted, and his decision to contact Immigration and Customs Enforcement quickly made him a target. The response was immediate and brutal.

Messages flooded his accounts, filled with explicit threats of violence. One chilling example promised a fatal attack, stating, “If I ever see you I’m fucking killing you and leaving ur dead body on the sidewalk.” Others vowed to find him and alluded to further harm.

The harassment spilled onto the physical campus. Posters appeared, branding Segal a “racist and fascist” and declaring he had “no place” at Boston University. The atmosphere became undeniably hostile and frightening.

Instead of offering robust support, university officials advised Segal to disappear. The Dean of Students suggested he abandon in-person classes and switch to remote learning, acknowledging the university couldn’t guarantee his safety.

Representing Segal, advocates demanded a transfer to the university’s Washington, D.C. campus, ensuring his education could continue without fear. The request was simple: a safe learning environment at a comparable cost.

The university’s initial response was a carefully worded statement emphasizing inclusivity and warning against focusing on “skin color” or “political views.” It spoke of affirming “the dignity and worth of all people,” but remained silent on the threats themselves and offered no concrete safety measures.

Segal passionately defended his actions, stating he reported suspicious activity because “that is what any American should do.” He emphasized his love for the country and his desire to protect his community by upholding the law.

Legal arguments are now being made, citing Massachusetts law and the university’s own policies regarding student safety. The university has been given a deadline to respond and provide accommodations, or face potential legal consequences.

The situation highlights a disturbing trend: the escalating consequences for citizens who engage with law enforcement regarding immigration concerns. It raises critical questions about the responsibility of universities to protect students from intimidation and violence, even when those students exercise their right to report suspected illegal activity.
