<font size="3">Leading up to and following the election of Donald Trump, allies of undocumented immigrants on college campuses and in progressive communities made or renewed their commitments to sanctuary. The idea of sanctuary, meant to protect the unauthorized
from the overreach of the state, has gained significant traction, so much so that it became one of President Trump's initial targets in his first executive orders on immigration. This talk provides a close analysis of the rhetoric of sanctuary, particularly
taking up the case of college campus policies, in order to investigate both why sanctuary is so popular among progressives and viewed as such a threat by conservatives. The paper shows how the rhetoric of sanctuary challenges and reinforces state logics and
considers what alternatives to sanctuary undocumented people and their allies may consider and are already enacting.<u></u><u></u></font></p>
