Lawsuit challenges Trump deportations of pro-Palestinian protesters

gazette.com

The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration, claiming its deportation actions against pro-Palestinian protesters are unconstitutional. The suit seeks to block two executive orders related to this issue. The lawsuit was prompted by the detention of Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University student, which led to protests. ADC represents three individuals from Cornell University who fear political persecution due to their activism. The Justice Department argues that Khalil's removal is justified due to potential foreign policy risks. The ADC aims to protect free speech rights for international students and scholars involved in political expression.
