The article discusses the increasing targeting of foreign college students for deportation by ICE, specifically at Oregon universities. It highlights how local campus newspapers, such as UO's Daily Emerald and PSU's Vanguard, are covering stories about visa revocations tied to student activism regarding Gaza. Some students have seen their visas revoked and reinstated, while others face suspension risks for engaging in protests. The piece also touches on the upcoming screening of the documentary "The Palestine Exception" which examines the implications of these protests in academia and ongoing censorship surrounding criticism of Israel.
In April, 13 OSU students had their visas revoked, with no reinstatement yet, highlighting an alarming trend in how universities manage student activism.
The ongoing ICE targeting of foreign college students creates an environment of fear, pressuring them to refrain from participating in protests for fear of deportation.
