All males between the ages of 18 and 25 must still register for Selective Service, right ? Back in the 80’s when I went to UCI, I recall that being required on my college application. Why can’t colleges be required to forward that information to the Feds ? Any male students who did not provide it should by definition not qualify for in-state tuition and could have ICE look into their status.
The SSS website makes a point of saying they do not share information with Immigration. That is a policy that should change — all Federal agencies should be sharing data to enforce ALL Federal laws.
Even if cities or states refuse to provide data, colleges can be directly threatened with losing all access to Federal grants and student aid if they do not provide the Federal government with all data about the legal status of their students. Don’t tell them what it is for, simply say that proof of SSS registration is required for all male students or the school will not qualify for aid or grants.

My GUESS is that those places who plan to willfully disobey the laws have ALREADY "lawyered up."

Everyone loses but the lawyers.
One might compare those salaries with the new purchases of very expensive cars. Hmmmm, do I sound a TAD cynical?

Doesn’t matter if they lawyer up or not. If they refuse to provide the data, the money for grants and student aid stops.

Then you surround the college with the National Guard and order an evacuation for terrorist threats and no re-entry until the situation is resolved. You let people exit if they can show ID. The students who cannot show ID get to talk to ICE.
