Deportation Threats Silence Pro-Palestine Student Activists | JQJO

International students at US universities, particularly those of Palestinian descent, are facing deportation threats for their pro-Palestinian activism. Following the arrests of several students, others are grappling with the decision to continue protesting despite the risk of visa cancellation and detention. Fear of being targeted by pro-Israel groups and the government's aggressive actions have led some to self-censor or leave the US, while others remain steadfast in their advocacy, even at personal risk. The Trump administration's actions have raised concerns about free speech and due process rights on college campuses.
