Signed in late January 2025, the order directs federal agencies to identify and potentially revoke visas of non-citizen students involved in such protests. Officials argue that existing immigration laws already permit deportation of individuals who “endorse or espouse” terrorist groups, citing Hamas’s U.S. designation as a foreign terrorist organization since 1997.
Supporters of the order say it reinforces national security and sends a strong message against hate speech targeting Jewish communities. They argue that protests crossing into anti-Semitic rhetoric have become increasingly concerning on U.S. campuses.
Critics, however, claim the measure infringes on free speech and unfairly targets international students. Civil rights groups warn that the policy could have a chilling effect on campus activism and suppress legitimate political expression.
University leaders across the country are seeking clarification on how “anti-Israel” demonstrations will be defined and enforced. Some fear the order could place schools in conflict with federal authorities over disciplinary or immigration matters.
