Summary
Donald Trump and congressional Republicans are preparing to crack down on pro-Palestinian protesters.
Measures could include deporting foreign students advocating for Hamas, prosecuting protest leaders for failing to register as foreign agents, and applying anti-terrorism or hate speech laws.
Critics, including civil rights groups like the ACLU and CCR, warn this could criminalize protected speech.
Legal battles are expected, especially as groups like the Heritage Foundation push initiatives like Project Esther to target alleged Hamas supporters.
Campus protests and student visa revocations are likely focal points for enforcement.
Aren’t the elections over? Whatever “strategic” excuse for supporting Biden/Harris is gone now. It’s a bi-partisan policy of unconditional support for Israel.
It’s true Trump will be more extreme, but there is no longer any excuse for going easy on Biden/Harris, if there ever was.
