President Donald Trump announced a continued crackdown on Palestinian activists following the arrest of Mahmoud Khalil at Columbia University. He stated this was the "first of many" detentions aimed at those protesting against Israel. Trump claimed that more students involved in what he called "pro-terrorist" activities would be targeted. He emphasized that individuals supporting terrorism would be deported and barred from returning to the U.S. The U.S. education department warned about 60 colleges, including Harvard and Cornell, that they could lose federal funding if protests deemed antisemitic continue. Khalil's deportation hearing is set for Wednesday.
