Border Patrol disinvited from California college's job fair

The U.S. Border Patrol was disinvited from a job fair at a local college in San Jose, California, after a group of activists protested its planned presence and organized a rally for during the fair.

A spokesman for San Jose City College told NBC Bay Area this week that the college canceled the invitation in light of current heightened tensions around immigration enforcement.

"With everything that's gone on in recent years around the issue of immigration and with border patrol and enforcement, that's just not something that we're comfortable with, bringing them to our campus," spokesman Ryan Brown said.
