The group of rights submits trial to block Trump deportations of pro-Palestinian protesters

The American-Arab (ADC) anti-discrimination committee has submitted a provocative process as unconstitutional the actions of the Trump administration to deport international students and scientists protesting or expressing support for Palestinian rights.

The trial, submitted on Saturday to the US District Court for the North District of New York, is requesting a national restriction order to block the application of two executive orders signed by US President Donald Trump in the first month of his mandate.

The trial comes after the detention of a student of Colombia University, Mahmoud Khalil, a permanent US resident of the 30 -year -old Descend, whose arrest has sparked protests this month.

The lawyers of the Justice Department have claimed that the US government is looking for Khalil’s removal, because Secretary of State Marco Rubio has reasonable reasons to believe that his activities or presence in the country could have “serious consequences of adverse foreign policy.” Rubio, on Friday, said the United States will revoke visas of several students in the coming days.

Trump promised to deport activists who took part in protests on the US university campuses against the Israel War against the Hamas in Gaza, following the October 2023 attack by Palestinian militants.

The ADC process was filed on behalf of two graduates and professor at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, who say that their activism and support of the Palestinian people “put them at serious risk of political persecution.”

“This process is a necessary step to maintain the most fundamental constitutional protection. The first amendment guarantees the freedom of expression and expression to all people in the United States, without exception, ”said Ayub, National Executive Director of ADC.

Chris Godshall-Bennett, the legal director of the group, said that the dispute is looking for immediate and long-term relief “to protect international students against any unconstitutional overlays that stifle the free expression and prevent them from fully involved in the academic and public discourse.”

The process focuses on three applicants of Cornell University: a British-Gambian national student and a student visa; an American citizen doctoral student working in plant science; And an American citizen novelist, poet and teacher at the Department of English Literature.
