DHS Used Controversial Website for Activist Deportations
Tap title to read story
A federal trial in Boston revealed that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) used the database of the controversial group Canary Mission as a primary source for identifying pro-Palestinian student activists targeted for deportation. DHS official Peter Hatch testified that while other sources contributed, Canary Mission provided "many, or even most," of the names. Canary Mission, which profiles individuals with allegedly anti-Israel views, denies collaborating with DHS. The plaintiffs, including university groups, argue the deportations violate First Amendment rights. The trial continues, focusing on whether the deportations were justified.
