The Donald Trump administration is planning to deport non-citizens who hold pro-Palestinian views.
It is also seeking to deport those who are perceived to have
been critical of Israel’s war on Gaza.
Here is a list of the people the US government has targeted
so far:
Mahmoud Khalil: Khalil was arrested over pro-Palestine
protests at Columbia University. He is married to an American citizen and holds
a green card.
Rumeysa Ozturk: The Turkish student was detained after she
co-authored an op-ed in a Tufts University student newspaper.
Yunseo Chung: A judge has ordered that the Korean-American
student at Columbia University not be detained until her legal challenge
against deportation is heard in court.
Badar Khan Suri: The Georgetown scholar from India, who
holds a valid visa, was arrested over social media posts.
Leqaa Kordia: Authorities claim Kordia is Palestinian and
was arrested near a protest at Columbia University.
Ranjani Srinivasan: The Indian citizen and doctoral student
at Columbia fled the US when immigration agents searched her university
residence.
Alireza Doroudi: The Iranian citizen and doctoral student at
the University of Alabama was detained by immigration authorities who said he
“posed significant national security concerns”.
Dr Rasha Alawieh: A kidney transplant specialist from
Lebanon was preparing to take up a position with Brown University but was
deported earlier this month when trying to re-enter the US.
Momodou Taal: The doctoral student at Cornell University is
challenging his deportation from the US.
