The First Amendment protections, including freedom of speech and the right to peacefully assemble, are generally afforded to people on student visas in the United States. Once international students are lawfully admitted to the U.S., they are invested with the rights guaranteed by the Constitution to all people within U.S. borders.

Based on recent developments, international students on F-1 visas participating in pro-Palestinian protests on U.S. campuses could potentially face visa revocation and deportation, although the legality of such actions is highly contested.

In January 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order aimed at combating what his administration termed an "explosion of anti-Semitism" on college campuses. This order directs federal agencies to take action against non-citizen students involved in activities deemed antisemitic, which could include pro-Palestinian protests. The executive order allows for the identification and potential removal of non-citizens involved in activities categorized as antisemitic. Universities are now required to monitor and report activities by international students that could be considered antisemitic. Some students have already reported visa cancellations without explanation, particularly those from Gaza. Legal experts argue that these actions likely violate First Amendment rights, which apply to all individuals in the U.S., regardless of citizenship status.

While the executive order has created a climate of fear among international students, legal experts believe that any deportation attempts based solely on peaceful protest activities would likely be overturned in court.

Not peaceful or legal.

If they're arrested, charged, and convicted, then deport them.

Until then, you've got nothing but anti-constitutional blather.

Doens't matter, either way he can go fcck himself. Fascist POS.
