Donald Trump announced that the recent arrest of Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil at Columbia University marks the start of further actions against pro-Palestinian demonstrators across American universities. He claims that many involved are not genuine students but paid agitators, asserting that his administration would deport those supporting terrorism. Khalil, who has been a prominent voice in pro-Palestinian protests, is currently facing immigration issues following Trump's directive. Trump's rhetoric escalates the conversation around free speech and political activism on college campuses, framing it as a national security concern.
Trump stated that the arrest of a Palestinian activist is just the beginning, indicating more arrests of pro-Palestinian activists at U.S. universities are forthcoming.
He emphasized that individuals supporting terrorism are unwelcome in the U.S., and his administration would actively target those perceived to be involved in such activities.
