Trump Administration Targets Immigrant Students for Deportation Over Pro-Palestine Activism
The Trump administration has initiated a crackdown on international students engaging in pro-Palestine activism, leading to demands for self-deportation. Mahmoud Khalil, a student at City University of New York, and Cagri Ozturk, from the University of Buffalo, are among those facing deportation threats due to their involvement in campus protests and social media posts.
Hundreds of international students have reportedly received emails from U.S. immigration authorities, asking them to leave the country voluntarily or face formal deportation proceedings. This move has sparked widespread concern and criticism, with many viewing it as an attack on free speech and an attempt to silence dissent.
The actions come amid heightened tensions over the Israel-Palestine conflict, with students across the U.S. expressing solidarity with Palestine through various forms of activism. Critics argue that targeting students for their political views is not only a violation of their rights but also detrimental to the open exchange of ideas in academic environments.
