🚨 BREAKING: Trump Signs Executive Order Targeting Foreign Students in Pro-Palestinian Protests 🚨
In a major move against rising anti-Semitism, former President Donald Trump has signed a sweeping executive order with serious consequences for international students involved in pro-Palestinian demonstrations.
The order, finalized in late January 2025, empowers federal agencies to identify and deport non-citizen students who participate in protests perceived as anti-Israel — especially those viewed as supportive of groups like Hamas.
The administration defends the measure by citing U.S. immigration laws, which allow for the removal of individuals who “endorse or espouse” designated terrorist organizations. Hamas has been classified as such by the U.S. since 1997.
Critics argue the policy could chill free speech on college campuses, while supporters hail it as a strong stance against extremism.
