Duke Drops Probe into Activist's Arrest

0:00Duke University has ended its disciplinary probe into a junior student arrested during a protest at an immigration detention center in Miami last. Fall, the 21-year-old activist, a Miami native, was one of 30 people detained in November for blocking the entrance to the chrome facility. Earlier this week, after a meeting with school officials, she learned the investigation for possible disruption violations was dropped. Duke reviewed her account of the arrest, but chose not to move forward. The student credits community support at the university for swaying the decision. She expressed strong pride in how her peers rallied around her during the process. Key reasons included, pending dismissal of her charges after completing a pretrial program this summer, plus her role there, mainly as a photojournalist, rather than just a protester. She continues leading monthly actions at Duke, pushing for policies against immigration enforcement cooperation, and hire campus wages with the next. One set for April 17th.
