Trump administration to cancel student visas of ‘Hamas sympathisers’
US President Donald Trump will sign an executive order on Wednesday to combat anti-Semitism and pledge to deport non-citizen college students and other “resident aliens” who took part in pro-Palestinian protests, a White House official said.
A fact sheet on the order said Trump would order the Justice Department to “aggressively prosecute terroristic threats, arson, vandalism and violence against American Jews”.
“To all the resident aliens who joined in the pro-jihadist protests, we put you on notice: come 2025, we will find you, and we will deport you,” Trump said in the fact sheet. “I will also quickly cancel the student visas of all Hamas sympathisers on college campuses, which have been infested with radicalism like never before.”
A study released in May found that 97 percent of US campus protests were peaceful. Many of the protesters have said that conflating legitimate criticism of Israeli actions with anti-Semitism is a familiar tactic designed to silence people advocating for Palestinian rights.
