A U.S. federal judge ruled that the Trump administration's use of immigration laws to revoke visas and deport noncitizen students for pro-Palestinian advocacy and criticism of Israel violated the First and Fifth Amendments. The ruling, based on a lawsuit by Stanford University's student newspaper, highlighted the chilling effect on free speech among international students. The judge emphasized that noncitizens have constitutional free speech rights and criticized government retaliation for political expression on campuses.
