U.S. denies visa revocation for pro-Palestinian students

A U.S. federal judge has ruled that the Trump administration's use of laws to revoke visas of non-American students due to their support for Palestinians and criticism of Israel is unconstitutional. Judge Noël Wise emphasized that freedom of expression is a constitutional right that is threatened if immigration laws are used to target individuals who voice their opinions. She criticized the Department of State and Homeland Security for their handling of students involved in pro-Palestinian activities. Starting in March 2025, the Trump administration began canceling visas and detaining individuals connected to pro-Palestinian activities on university campuses, leading to multiple lawsuits, including one against the deportation and detention of a Columbia University student. The ruling reaffirms the rights to free expression and rejects tactics aimed at monitoring opinions and undermining democracy.
