Monday US President Donald Trump has signed an immigration administrative order titled “Protecting the United States from foreign terrorists, other national security and public safety threats.” This was depicted as the resurrection of his first Muslim ‘Prohibition of Travel’, which fulfills its election pledges to revive controversial rule.
The administrative order contains another pledge of the campaign, a way to easily deport the pro -Palestinian protesters.
Most of the new commands imitated the old Muslim “Prohibition of Travel”, which Trump signed the first day of 2017, but this command is more neutral in the surface. This time, President Trump requested a report to submit a report that specified a country to stop immigration to each agency without explicitizing the target country.
“Students are afraid of being stigmatized as a terrorist. Now there are more administrative orders to actually do it.”
And at the bottom, there is a new provision that seems to explicitly select a new immigrant, especially an immigrant who has a student visa who participates in the protests against the Gaza War of Israel.
This document is instructed to the Secretary of State, the Minister of Justice, the Minister of Land, Security, and the National Intelligence Service.
It is recommended to protect the American people from the actions of foreigners who include or undermine the basic constitutional rights of the American citizens who include the rights of our citizens who are not limited to the freedom and free movement of the media. Religion that supports, defends or supports foreign terrorists, preaching or urging the overthrow or replacement of a culture that is protected by Article 1 of the Amendment Constitution, the sectarian violence, the constitutional republic.
Student protesters against the bombing are generally not explained that they preach sectarian violence or undermine the constitutional rights of the American people. But conservative groups like the Heritage Foundation were definitely so. In the summer of 2024, Heritage argued that the pro -Palestine Student Camp was supported by Iran and Russia, which was motivated for anti -American hostility. In fact, the Republican Party stigmatized the anti -war protesters as terrorist supporters throughout the presidential election.
Maryam Jamshidi, a jurist and associate professor of university Colorado, said of the new administrative orders, “They had a lesson from their ‘mistake’ last time.”
The command is ambiguous, but for a while, the language said, “It seems clear that it is aimed at foreigners, especially foreign students who have a visa.”
The Republican Party has threatened to deport these students for several months.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio put pressure on the “Hamas supporters” students on October 20, 2023, less than three weeks after Hamas attacked Israel. Prime Minister Rubio says at the Tuesday, the Secretary of State’s approval hearing, the United States will cancel the visa of a person who is decided as a ‘Hamas supporters’.
“Based on the remarks of Trump and others, we know that the new provisions will be used to target the pro -Palestinian protesters,” he said.
In the October 2023 letter, which is no longer seen on Rubio’s Senate website, he urged the State Department to immediately try to “identify and deport under the undergroundist supporters.” Last year, several bills also proposed the same idea. And since Trump, Republican lawmakers have been demanding deportation with retaliation for student protesters. (Especially the leader of the extremist Zionist group Betar was cited. New York Post It’s like using ‘face recognition software’ to create a list of expatriates on behalf of Trump.)
The temporary alliance of legal advocates has answered the questions of students who are concerned that they may be included in the next ranking for the past year and a half. Lamya Agarwala, a lawyer of the US-Islamic Relations Committee, said Trump and his team said, “It is clear that white supremacy and Christian nationalist agenda are motivated by many decisions.”
Agarwala says he is listening to the news from non -citizen student activists, and he is also listening to Palestinian students who are feared that they can be suspected by their nationality.
“We’ve confirmed that this administrative order is about national security and public safety,” said Agarwala. But in fact, she thinks that this is to categorize the idea that it is dangerous to those who are not American citizens, those who are not white, and many Christian countries. I try to exclude them from the United States and try to remove people in the United States. ”
During Trump’s first term, according to internal immigration and tariff enforcement documents, his team considered an ideological purity test at one time, but eventually decided not to move because of unconstitutionality. According to the US law, non -citizens have the right to enjoy freedom of speech. Jamshidi said, “Once you live in the United States, your status is the basis for protecting you.”
Nevertheless, the exclusion of non -civilians based on the recognized ideology or remarks dates back far before Trump. The McCaran Inner Security Law, passed in 1950, excluded people defined as “communists, totalitarians or fascists” in the United States.
Sadaf Hasan, a lawyer of the Muslim Advocates, a citizenship organization formed in response to the passage of the Patriot Act, said this is a typical “horror tactical tactic” of the United States. “Students are afraid of being stigmatized as terrorists. Now there are more administrative orders that can actually be done. ”
