Trump predicts more arrests of Palestinian activists soon
President Trump announced that the arrest of Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil by federal immigration authorities is the first of many similar actions. He stated that his administration will not tolerate what he described as anti-American activities on college campuses. Khalil, a green card holder, was arrested after his student visa was reportedly revoked. His lawyer has filed a petition challenging the arrest, claiming it targets student activism against Israel's actions in Gaza. The Department of Homeland Security supported Khalil's arrest, linking it to Trump's executive orders against anti-Semitism. The administration has also threatened to revoke visas of those supporting Hamas and is investigating several universities for reported anti-Semitic incidents.
