A pro-Israel group says it gave the Trump administration a list of students to deport

Salon  

President Donald Trump signed an executive order Wednesday to punish protesters who supported Palestine and called for an end to Israel's military onslaught in Gaza, including the potential deportation of non-citizen students and university staff. The escalation comes with the assistance of Betar, a far-right group whose stated mission is to "defend Zionism with clarity and courage," which told Salon it has compiled a list of foreign students and teachers that it believes should be expelled from the country — and shared it with the Trump administration. I will also quickly cancel the student visas of all Hamas sympathizers on college campuses, which have been infested with radicalism like never before," Trump said in a "fact sheet" distributed by the White House. Even before Trump's victory last November, Betar had been using AI facial recognition technology and tip-offs to ascertain anti-Zionist protesters' identities, hoping that authorities would eventually vet and use the information to deport "despicable, egregious people who openly support Hamas and other terrorist organizations," spokesperson Daniel Levy said in a statement to Salon. In the case of professors and PhD candidates, deportable offenses include teaching "alternate history" that is "aligned with negative propaganda," Glick said, including Israeli historian Ilan Pappe's book "The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine."
