Stanford Daily Sues Trump Administration Over Deportation of Activists | JQJO

Stanford University's student newspaper sued the Trump administration for using immigration law to target and deport pro-Palestinian activists. The lawsuit, filed in California, argues this chills students' First Amendment rights. Two former students, fearing deportation for their views, joined the suit. The complaint centers on two Immigration and Nationality Act provisions allowing deportation based on views compromising US foreign policy interests or visa revocation at the Secretary of State's discretion. The newspaper alleges self-censorship among its staff due to fear of deportation. This case follows a Boston trial examining similar targeting of pro-Palestinian students and scholars.
