Private Groups Work To Identify And Report Student Protesters For Possible Deportation
LOADING ERROR LOADING NEW YORK — When a protester was caught on video in January at a New York rally against Israel, only her eyes were visible between a mask and headscarf. A right-wing Jewish group said some people identified with the tool were on a list of names it submitted to President Donald Trump’s administration, urging that they be deported in accordance with his call for the expulsion of foreign students who participated in “pro-jihadist” protests. “But that doesn’t mean that you will escape the consequences of society after you say it.” Student negotiator Mahmoud Khalil is seen at a pro-Palestinian protest encampment on the Columbia University campus in New York, April 29, 2024. via Associated Press Pro-Israel groups that circulated the protester’s photo claim that she was soon fired by her employer. Days before his arrest, Khalil said in an interview that he was aware of Betar’s call for his deportation and that it and other groups were trying to use him as a “scapegoat.” Students protesting Israel’s conduct in Gaza have been unsure what to make of Betar, which the Anti-Defamation League recently added to its list of extremist groups. At the University of Pittsburgh, leaders of Students for Justice in Palestine said they spoke with police in November after an online message from Betar that said it would be visiting the school to “give you beepers” — an apparent reference to Israel’s detonation of thousands of electronic pagers last fall to kill and wound members of Lebanon’s Hezbollah militia.
