Trump's 'Protecting The United States From Foreign Terrorists' Order Enables Deportation of Foreign Nationals Supporting Hamas and Hezbollah

Jan 21, 2025, 11:06 PM

President Donald Trump has enacted an executive order allowing the deportation of foreign nationals, including students and temporary workers, who express support for organizations designated as terrorist groups by the U.S. government, such as Hamas and Hezbollah. The order, titled 'Protecting The United States From Foreign Terrorists And Other National Security And Public Safety Threats,' specifically targets individuals involved in pro-Hamas protests and related activities. The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has launched a tip line for reporting individuals on visas who support terrorism. This policy aims to enhance national security and public safety by removing non-citizens who are perceived as threats. The executive order is expected to affect a substantial number of activists at pro-Hamas encampments on university campuses.
