Donald Trump, as part of a crackdown on anti -Semitism, expelled foreign college students involved in Palestinian demonstrations and urged the media’s speeches and the cry of Muslims.

Fire, an advocate to protect the freedom of speech, said it should not use the cancellation of a student visa.
In the statement, the group said, “The strengths of the higher education system in our country comes from the exchange of the most extensive perspective, even unpopular or opposing views.
“Students who commit crimes, including damage, threats, or violence, must face the results, and the results may include a visa loss. However, if today’s administrative order goes beyond illegal activities, students should be withdrawn if they punish students to protests or expressions protected by the first amendment. ”

Protests, which spread to the best universities, including Harvard, Yale, and Columbia, have stimulated intense debate and memory of anti -Semitism in higher education.
Some Jewish students reported violence, intimidation, and harassment in the protests, but Palestinian students and activists accused the university authorities that they should be responsible for anti -Semitism as a tool to close legal criticism of Israel.
