He didn’t wait long before making another bold move. Former President Donald Trump has signed an executive order authorizing the deportation of foreign nationals, including students, who participate in pro-Palestinian demonstrations. The Justice Department is set to take immediate enforcement action.
This order, issued in the wake of the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack on Israel, specifically targets activities perceived as threats to Jewish communities—such as terrorism, arson, and violent acts. Trump declared that any foreign resident engaging in “pro-jihadist” protests will be deported in 2025, and student visas for those supporting Hamas will be revoked.
The decision aligns closely with Trump’s 2024 platform on immigration and national security, and it’s already sparking heated debates about the balance between freedom of expression and public safety. What’s your take?
