Trump’s New Immigration Order Targets Foreign Students in Pro-Palestine Protests
In a move that has sparked widespread debate, President Donald trump is set to sign a presidential order targeting foreign students who participated in anti-Israel demonstrations during the recent conflict. The order,described as a crackdown on “Hamas’s supporters,” will cancel the visas of students involved in pro-Palestine protests across U.S. universities.
According to a White House source, the governance is also advancing legislation to combat what it terms “anti-Semitic crimes.” This initiative aims to strengthen federal efforts against anti-Semitism and identify new methods to expel activists who violate the law.
The order includes several key provisions. President Trump has directed the Department of Justice to “pursue terrorist threats,burning,sabotage,and violence against American Jews strictly.” in a statement, Trump warned, “We will find you and we will leave you. I will also cancel the visas of students for all sympathizers of Hamas in the university Ihram, which have become unprecedentedly informed.”
Additionally, the order mandates the Department of Justice to investigate cases involving graffiti on university walls that express support for Hamas. White House spokeswoman Caroline Lvit confirmed that Trump will sign further orders targeting the U.S. education system, particularly institutions accused of teaching content that labels the U.S. as systematically racist.

| Cancel visas of foreign students supporting Hamas |
| Advance legislation against anti-Semitic crimes |
| direct DOJ to pursue threats against American Jews |

This move has ignited a firestorm of reactions, with critics arguing it stifles free speech and unfairly targets students exercising their right to protest. Supporters, however, view it as a necessary step to protect Jewish communities and uphold national security.
As the debate continues, the implications of this order on U.S. immigration policy and campus activism remain to be seen. For now, it marks a meaningful escalation in the administration’s efforts to address what it perceives as threats to American values and safety.
