Trump Signs Order to Deport Foreign Students Supporting Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis in Pro-Palestine Demonstrations
Jan 26, 2025, 02:05 PM
US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order enabling the deportation of foreign students who express support for organizations designated as terrorist groups, such as Hamas, Hezbollah, and Houthis. The order targets individuals on student visas who participate in pro-Palestine demonstrations, anti-Israel activities, or publicly support these groups. Reports suggest that the World Betar Movement, an American-Zionist organization, is compiling a list of foreign students alleged to support Hamas or Hezbollah, using facial recognition software and database technology. The list reportedly includes students from countries such as Jordan, Syria, Egypt, Canada, and the United Kingdom, enrolled at prominent US universities. This initiative aligns with Trump's campaign promise to revoke student visas of individuals engaging in activities deemed anti-Semitic. The executive order has sparked discussions about its implications for freedom of speech and academic expression.
