President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Wednesday that would cancel visas and deport international students who have expressed support for Palestinians — the administration’s latest effort to both target immigrants and crack down on free speech, particularly on college campuses.
The fact sheet for the president’s order describes the move as a means to address antisemitism, directing the Justice Department to prosecute “terroristic threats, arson, vandalism and violence against American Jews” and to use the necessary federal resources to fight what it called an “explosion of antisemitism” since Hamas’ deadly attack on Israel in October 2023.
“To all the resident aliens who joined in the pro-jihadist protests, we put you on notice: come 2025, we will find you, and we will deport you,” states the order, first obtained by Reuters.
The president said that he would also cancel the visas of students he considers “Hamas sympathizers,” describing college campuses as “infested with radicalism.”
