TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) - Students are rallying on the campus of Florida State University hoping to have their voices heard by President Donald Trump and school officials.

Their message? That immigrants and refugees are welcome on the FSU campus.

Students for a Democratic Society say they want the FSU campus to declare it's self a sanctuary campus, which would protect immigrant and refugees students from possible deportation.

In a statement the group says they want to quote: "Assure that all students receive a campus, classroom, and community experience free of hostilities, aggression, and bullying by publicizing the campus-wide anonymous reporting mechanism."
