"US Student Activism Under Fire: Deportation Threat Looms for Gaza Protesters In a move that has sparked widespread outrage, a 35-year-old non-citizen student has been placed in deportation proceedings after participating in protests against Israel's military campaign in Gaza. Mahdawi, a student at a US university, is not alone - several other non-citizen students have faced similar consequences for exercising their right to free speech and peaceful assembly. Critics argue that the deportation threat is an attempt to silence dissenting voices and suppress activism on US college campuses, raising concerns about the erosion of academic freedom and the rights of marginalized communities."
Mahdawi, 35, was one of several non-citizen students who were placed in deportation proceedings last year after taking part in demonstrations against Israel's military campaign in Gaza.
