Another Columbia University student says that the Trump administration has targeted her for deportation over her pro-Palestinian views, accusing immigration officials of employing the same tactics used on Mahmoud Khalil and other college activists.

Yunseo Chung, a 21-year-old lawful permanent resident who came to the U.S. as a child, said Immigration and Customs Enforcement moved to deport her after she was arrested March 5 while protesting the Ivy League school’s disciplinary actions against student protesters.

    Colleges should be encouraging and supporting activism, not trying to censor and suppress it.

      US colleges are businesses first and foremost. They are focused around making money. Education seemed to be a profitable way of doing so. But enforcing state and Zionist donor propaganda and societal influence instead is also an option if it is paid better. And as it currently stands for Columbia university it is the option that pays better.

    I’m appalled that protesting against the genocide executed by a foreign government is grounds for arrest and deportation.

    You can’t say anything bad about Israel because it is an ally? Beyond being a blatant 1st amendment violation, Trump has showed that alliances are a very fluid concept in his mind.
