U.S. Judge Rules Against Trump Administration's Deportation of Pro-Palestinian Activists
A U.S. federal judge ruled that laws used by the Trump administration to revoke visas and deport noncitizen college students for pro-Palestinian advocacy and criticism of Israel are unconstitutional. Judge Noel Wise criticized the State Department and Homeland Security for targeting protected speech based on viewpoint, emphasizing free speech as a democratic strength. The ruling stemmed from a lawsuit by Stanford's student newspaper, highlighting concerns over self-censorship among visa-holding students amid immigration enforcement actions starting in March 2025.
