Axios: Trump’s “pro-Hamas” purge could block foreign students from colleges

The Trump administration is discussing plans to try to block certain colleges from having any foreign students if it decides too many are “pro-Hamas,” senior Justice and State Department officials tell Axios.

  • A senior State Department official called the demonstrators it’s targeting “Hamasniks” — people the government claims have shown support for the terror group.
  • More than 300 foreign students have had their student visas revoked in the three weeks “Catch and Revoke” has been in operation, the official said. There are 1.5 million student visa-holders nationwide.
  • “Everyone is fair game,” the official said.

New York Times: Judge Orders U.S. to Stop Attempts to Deport Columbia Undergraduate Yunseo Chung

The administration has been seeking to arrest and deport Yunseo Chung, who immigrated from South Korea as a child, after she participated in pro-Palestinian demonstrations.

The judge, Naomi Buchwald, said during a hearing on Tuesday that “nothing in the record” indicated that Ms. Chung posed a danger to the community or a “foreign-policy risk” or had communicated with terrorist organizations.

Ms. Chung is a legal permanent resident. She was not a prominent participant in demonstrations on Columbia’s campus; she was arrested along with several other students this month at a protest at Barnard College, the Manhattan university’s sister school.
