Judge Rules Against Trump on First Amendment Violation in Immigration Policy
A U.S. judge ruled against Trump's administration for unconstitutional actions targeting pro-Palestinian students and faculty. The administration's immigration policy was found to violate the First Amendment by chilling free speech, with officials using extreme measures to instill fear among pro-Palestinian advocates.
In a landmark ruling on Tuesday, U.S. District Judge William Young declared that former President Donald Trump's administration acted unconstitutionally by targeting foreign students and faculty involved in pro-Palestinian advocacy.
Young's 161-page decision criticized the administration for violating the First Amendment rights of noncitizens, as part of a wider effort to limit free speech. The ruling came amidst a case filed by academic groups, challenging the immigration policies that led to visa revocations and arrests.
Despite legal setbacks, Trump's administration continued efforts to deport pro-Palestinian students. The case reflects broader tensions over free speech and immigration policy amid ongoing legal challenges.
