A report by education watchdog Defending Education showed that the University of Minnesota Law School teaches “far left immigration activism,” that law enforcement perpetuates “whiteness” and provides resources critics say help shield criminal illegal aliens from deportation.

The report by Defending Education, a conservative advocacy group that says its mission is to fight what it considers ideological indoctrination in schools, focuses on the University of Minnesota Law School's James H. Binger Center for New Americans and how it trains students regarding illegal immigration.

According to The Center Square, the report said the Binger Center “trains law students in far-left immigration activism, provides pro bono services to illegal aliens facing deportation, and hosts events that promote radical policy goals.”

“This case study is another reminder of the ideological capture of even highly respected academic degree programs,” Defending Education Research Director Rhyen Staley told The Center Square. “The fact that a law school is training and using students for far-left social justice activism should be alarming to the American public.”

The report stated that “events, trainings, and forums” associated with the Binger Center “have covered topics such as ‘deportation abolition,’ including a nationwide effort to stop the deportation of Somali immigrants.”

“They have also focused on organizing union workers for immigration activism, argued that law enforcement perpetuates ‘whiteness,’ and discussed strategies for helping clients avoid deportation by hiding or leaving out details about criminal records,” the report stated, according to The Center Square.

The report said the Binger Center's activism “is not limited to migrants whose only offense is their immigration status.”

“The Center provides explicit resources and tips on how to shield criminal aliens from deportation by downplaying their offenses and ‘scrubbing’ legal records of their criminal acts,” the report stated.

For example, a “practice advisory” published by the Binger Center for “immigration attorneys with clients facing drug offenses” advised attorneys to “‘scrub’ their clients’ record of conviction by ‘omitting mention of a specific substance in the record,’” according to Defending Education.

The advisory noted immigration judges “will therefore be unable to find the ‘underlying facts of the substance involved’ during deportation proceedings,” the report stated.

Another resource from the Binger Center discussed “the immigration-related consequences of criminal convictions” and advised offenders to “avoid admitting guilt or facts sufficient to prove guilt” or “facts showing baseness, vileness, depravity, or reprehensible conduct,” the report stated.

The report also stated “the school’s Student Legal Services also provides resources that guide students on how to handle interactions with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, including warnings that ICE ‘lies.’”

The Binger Center also provides a “Detainee Rights Clinic” where students are taught “to represent illegal aliens who are ‘impacted by either or both the criminal justice system and the immigration deportation system,’” according to Defending Education.

Newsmax reached out to the University of Minnesota Law School for comment.

The Binger Center states on its website that it provides “urgently needed legal services for noncitizens, pursues litigation to improve our nation’s immigration laws, and supports noncitizens in the region through education and community outreach.”

It also states it was created “in response to a critical, unmet need for pro bono legal services in our immigrant and refugee communities.”
