Around the country, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/scholars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#scholars</a> have been picked up, in some cases by masked immigration agents, and held in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DetentionCenters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DetentionCenters</a>, sometimes a thousand miles from their homes with little warning and often with few details about why they were being detained."'It might be more than 300 at this point. We do it every day. Every time I find one of these lunatics, I take away their visas,' Rubio said at a news conference in Guyana, where he was meeting with leaders. "Many of those rounded up by Trump officials attended or were part of the pro-Palestinian movement that swept college campuses last year, and while the administration hasn’t said publicly why these students are being singled out over others, at least one sought by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement appeared on lists made by far-right pro-Israel groups as targets for deportation. "And Trump allies, many in government again, telegraphed for months before he took office that they’d seek to deport students who openly advocated for Hamas or other U.S.-designated terrorist groups or after they participated in an unauthorized campus <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/protest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#protest</a> and were suspended, expelled or jailed."The detentions are a signal of a broader effort by President Donald Trump to clamp down on the actions of legal permanent residents, student visa holders and others who live and work legally in the United States, one that threatens to undermine a fundamental American right to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FreeSpeech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FreeSpeech</a> and to assemble, experts and advocates said."<a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/trump-administration-takes-aim-immigrant-students-rcna198346?utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-us" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/trump-administration-takes-aim-immigrant-students-rcna198346?utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-us</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#USPol</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ThoughtPolice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ThoughtPolice</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Authoritarianism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Authoritarianism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Orwellian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Orwellian</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CharacteristicsOfFascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CharacteristicsOfFascism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Clampdown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Clampdown</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SilencingDissent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SilencingDissent</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CriminalizingDissent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CriminalizingDissent</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CriminalizingActivism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CriminalizingActivism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RightToAssemble" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RightToAssemble</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FirstAmendment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FirstAmendment</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#USPol</a>

"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.

"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.

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.
