The Young Conservatives of Texas has canceled its "Catch an Illegal Immigrant" event, originally scheduled for Wednesday. 

Citing the university's condemnation of the event, UT chapter chair Lorenzo Garcia claims he canceled the event out of fears the university would retaliate against the group's members, "and that the protest against the event could create a safety issue for our volunteers."
