"We believe that the administration’s ideological-deportation policy violates the First Amendment by targeting constitutionally protected speech that Americans have a right to hear and engage with. The policy has created a climate of fear and repression on campuses around the country. We are represented in the case by the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KnightFirstAmendmentInstitute" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#KnightFirstAmendmentInstitute</a> at <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ColumbiaUniversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ColumbiaUniversity</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AhilanArulanantham" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AhilanArulanantham</a>, and Zimmer, Citron & Clarke LLP."Following executive orders issued by President Trump in January, the federal agencies that enforce immigration laws have arrested and detained several people associated with U.S. colleges and universities, including a legal permanent resident, on the basis of constitutionally protected speech and association. "Today’s filing argues that the ideological-deportation policy has created a climate of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/repression" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#repression</a> and intense fear on university <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/campuses" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#campuses</a>, 'terrorizing students and faculty for their exercise of First Amendment rights in the past, intimidating them from exercising those rights now, and silencing political viewpoints that the government disfavors.'"'The Trump administration is going after international <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/scholars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#scholars</a> and students who speak their minds about <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Palestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Palestine</a>, but make no mistake: they won't stop there. They'll come next for those who teach the history of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/slavery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#slavery</a> or who provide <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GenderAffirming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GenderAffirming</a> health care or who research <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ClimateChange</a> or who counsel students about their reproductive choices. We all have to draw a line together—as the old labor movement slogan says: an injury to one is an injury to all,' says AAUP President Todd Wolfson. "'The First Amendment means the government can’t arrest, detain, or deport people for lawful political expression—it’s as simple as that. This practice is one we’d ordinarily associate with the most repressive political regimes, and it should have no place in our democracy,' says <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/JameelJaffer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#JameelJaffer</a>, executive director at the Knight First Amendment Institute."Source: <a href="https://www.aaup.org/news/aaup-allies-sue-over-trump-policy-arresting-and-threatening-deport-students-and-faculty-lawful" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.aaup.org/news/aaup-allies-sue-over-trump-policy-arresting-and-threatening-deport-students-and-faculty-lawful</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RightToProtest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RightToProtest</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SilencingDissent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SilencingDissent</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#USPol</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CharacteristicsOfFascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CharacteristicsOfFascism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/law" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#law</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/immigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#immigration</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FreeSpeech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FreeSpeech</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MarcoRubio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MarcoRubio</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Trump</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FreedomOfAssembly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FreedomOfAssembly</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Authoritarianism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Authoritarianism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Palestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Palestine</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CriminalizingDissent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CriminalizingDissent</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HigherEducation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HigherEducation</a>
