U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order to combat antisemitism, pledging to deport non-citizen students and others who participated in pro-Palestinian protests.

Axar.az reports that the order directs federal agencies to take immediate action against antisemitic threats and crimes and to investigate civil rights violations related to campus protests.

Trump vowed to cancel student visas for "Hamas sympathizers" and warned resident aliens involved in protests of deportation.

Rights groups argue the order violates free speech protections, with legal experts predicting constitutional challenges. Civil rights organizations express concern over conflating criticism of Israel with antisemitism, warning of a chilling effect on free speech. The order also mandates a 60-day review of legal actions related to campus protests, potentially leading to further removals of foreign students and staff.
