school buildings: Now his arrest is hurting the push for a bill that would allow students without legal immigration status at the state's public colleges and universities access to financial aid, according to Metro News. Cruz, who had testified himself in favour of the legislation, was charged on May 7 with more than 100 counts of misdemeanour vandalism. A student originally from Mexico, Eric Cruz Lopez was among the most visible immigration activists on the University of Connecticut campus up until he was charged with spray-painting expletives about President Donald Trump on the walls of school buildings. Police said he gave a statement admitting to the vandalism and offering to discuss restitution. The case led state House leaders to postpone a planned vote last week on legislation that would open up 165 million in institutional financial aid to students without legal status at public colleges and universities. He did not respond to requests for comment.
