Advocates warn Trump’s threat to deport pro-Palestine students harms all

Al Jazeera  

Critics say Trump’s attempt to combat anti-Semitism on campus promotes fear and repression among immigrants. Dima Khalidi — the director of Palestine Legal, a group protecting the rights of Palestine advocates in the US — called Trump’s order last week “the latest in a growing list of dangerous, authoritarian measures aimed at enforcing an ideological strangulation on schools by attempting to scare students into silence”. “This order, coupled with President Trump’s accompanying threat to deport what he deems ‘Hamas sympathisers’, will suggest to international students that the rights promised on our nation’s campuses are not theirs to enjoy,” McLaughlin said. “This is a loss for these students, whose speech will likely be chilled, and for their peers, who will be deprived of the ability to hear, engage with, and challenge those views.” In a statement for the free-speech organisation PEN America, Kristen Shahverdian said Trump’s order was “reminiscent of McCarthyism”, a period in history when the US government sought to root out and ostracise people deemed “subversive”. “If President Trump really cared the very real rise in acts of anti-Semitism, he would start by firing Elon Musk for making what appeared to be a Nazi salute last week,” Olinsky also said.
