In a recent move to combat anti-Semitism, Donald Trump signed an executive order in January 2025, allowing the deportation of international students involved in pro-Palestinian protests perceived as anti-Israel. The order cites U.S. immigration laws,
allowing deportation of non-citizens who support terrorist organizations like Ha m as. Critics argue this may suppress free speech and violate constitutional rights. Some alumni groups, like from Columbia University, are working to identify students for deportation, sparking debate over balancing anti-Semitism efforts with free speech on campuses.
