Trump in action: Foreign students who join pro-Palestine protests to face deportation under new executive order
President Trump signed an executive order on January 29, 2025, aimed at deporting non-citizen students involved in pro-Palestinian protests, citing rising antisemitism on U.S. campuses. The order directs the Justice Department to address violence against Jews linked to these protests. Civil rights groups oppose the move, calling it unconstitutional and a violation of free speech. Legal challenges are expected as the order could significantly impact U.S. higher education and immigrant students' rights, as reported by Reuters.
