Judge halts effort to detain student over Gaza rally
Bangkok Post
|March 27, 2025
A judge ordered US authorities on Tuesday to cease efforts to detain and deport a New York college student, as President Donald Trump presses his campaign against pupils linked to pro-Palestinian protests.
-
Mr Trump has targeted New York's Columbia University, where the student is enrolled, as an epicentre of the US student protest movement sparked by Israel's war against Hamas in Gaza, stripping federal funds and directing immigration officers to deport foreign student demonstrators.
Critics argue that the Trump administration's campaign is retribution and will have a chilling effect on free speech, while its supporters insist it is necessary to restore order to campuses and protect Jewish students.
