America First Legal Blasts Boston University for Failing to Protect Conservative Student from Leftist Death Threats After Reporting Illegals to ICE
America First Legal (AFL) is calling out Boston University (BU) for abandoning one of its own students, Zac Segal, who has been hit with credible death threats from radical leftists simply for doing his civic duty and reporting suspected illegal immigrants to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Segal, the president of BU’s College Republicans, spotted suspicious activity at an Allston car wash and tipped off ICE.
His actions led to the arrest of nine illegal migrants.
After taking credit for the bust on social media, Segal became a target for online harassment, doxxing, and violent threats from unhinged activists.
I’ve been calling ICE for months on end. This week they finally responded to my request to detain these criminals. As someone who lives in the neighborhood, I’ve seen how American jobs are being given away to those with no right to be here. Pump up the numbers! https://t.co/jJtm9KzvU6

According to details provided to Breitbart News, messages included vile statements like, “If I ever see you I’m fucking killing you and leaving ur dead body on the sidewalk,” “We’re coming for you,” “I’ll be waiting outside your little event tonight,” and even “Here’s to hoping you’re the next to get Kirked.”
Just an example of a threat I received a few weeks ago. It’s becoming all too common. When will universities take action? If you receive threats please make sure you report them so these scumbags can be held accountable. https://t.co/x9I9RUImJx pic.twitter.com/wRdRxraN7W

Posters also popped up on campus branding Segal a “racist and fascist” with “no place” at BU.
Rather than stepping up to defend their student, BU officials essentially told Segal to hide.
Dean of Students Jason Campbell-Foster advised him to skip in-person classes and switch to remote learning, admitting the university couldn’t guarantee his safety on the Boston campus.
Representing Segal, America First Legal fired off a letter demanding BU let him transfer to its Washington, D.C. campus to finish his education safely, “at a cost that does not exceed his attendance at the Boston campus.”
As AFL Senior Counsel Emily Percival put it, “Boston University must protect its students, not force them into hiding.”
AFL emphasized in their press release, “There is nothing unlawful about reporting suspected violations of federal law.” They contrasted BU’s weak response with Olivet Nazarene University, which publicly condemned similar threats against a student and provided real accommodations.
BU President Melissa Gilliam responded with a vague statement in the Daily Free Press warning against focusing on “skin color” or “political views” to avoid “fostering division and pain.”
Gilliam babbled about affirming “the dignity and worth of all people” but said nothing about condemning the threats or outlining any safety plans.
Segal defended himself on X, stating, “I reported suspicious activity to law enforcement because that is what any American should do. My intention was simple: to protect my community and uphold the rule of law.” He added, “I love this country, and everything I did came from that place,” pointing out the DHS-confirmed illegal status of those arrested and the millions of unemployed American men who could use those jobs.
I love this country, and everything I did came from that place. I’m an American — born in Florida, raised abroad — and I chose to come back home because I believe in the opportunity and freedom this nation offers.
I reported suspicious activity to law enforcement because that is…

AFL’s letter cites Massachusetts law requiring universities to prevent foreseeable injuries and BU’s own policies obligating them to protect students. They’ve given BU a deadline to confirm accommodations or face potential legal action.
