All over the West, free speech is falling victim to pro-Israel supporters in government and institutions, and anything related to the Gaza genocide is being severely punished and suppressed with the blanket accusation of 'antisemitism'.

There are plenty of protests to go around!

U.S. immigration is asking the public for feedback on a new proposal to collect social media handles from people applying for green cards and citizenship.

Free speech advocates are concerned over how expanded social media surveillance could impact asylum seekers, green card and citizenship applicants already living in the U.S. legally.

@AssociatedPress explains what the proposal means and how it might change online surveillance.

I have lived in countries with hate-speech laws. I have lived in countries with highly restrictive political speech laws.

It’s not unbearable. You are clear on what you cannot say. You learn the art of metaphor.

What’s unbearable is when you get TOLD you have the right to free speech and then the administration prosecutes or punishes you for exercising it, for no coherent reason.

That’s the terror that comes from the arbitrary application of power. #FreeSpeech #fascism #authoritarianism

Private groups work to identify & report #student #protesters for possible #deportation

When a protester was caught on video in January at a NY rally against #Israel, only her eyes were visible between a mask & headscarf. But days later, photos of her entire face, along w/her name & employer, were circulated online.

#Trump takes aim at foreign-born college students, with 300 visas revoked

Some students have been picked up off the street by immigration agents and held in detention centers, sometimes a thousand miles away from their homes, with little warning

By Daniella Silva, Chloe Atkins, Julia Ainsley and Abigail Williams, March 27, 2025

"Secretary of State #MarcoRubio said Thursday the State Department has revoked 300 or more #StudentVisas, as the White House increasingly targets foreign-born students whose main transgression seems to be #activism.

"Rubio warned that the administration was looking out for 'these lunatics.' Around the country, #scholars have been picked up, in some cases by masked immigration agents, and held in #DetentionCenters, sometimes a thousand miles from their homes with little warning and often with few details about why they were being detained.

"'It might be more than 300 at this point. We do it every day. Every time I find one of these lunatics, I take away their visas,' Rubio said at a news conference in Guyana, where he was meeting with leaders.

"Many of those rounded up by Trump officials attended or were part of the pro-Palestinian movement that swept college campuses last year, and while the administration hasn’t said publicly why these students are being singled out over others, at least one sought by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement appeared on lists made by far-right pro-Israel groups as targets for deportation.

"And Trump allies, many in government again, telegraphed for months before he took office that they’d seek to deport students who openly advocated for Hamas or other U.S.-designated terrorist groups or after they participated in an unauthorized campus #protest and were suspended, expelled or jailed.

"The detentions are a signal of a broader effort by President Donald Trump to clamp down on the actions of legal permanent residents, student visa holders and others who live and work legally in the United States, one that threatens to undermine a fundamental American right to #FreeSpeech and to assemble, experts and advocates said."

*** This report may not be accurate. Times of India is the only outlet reporting it. ***

Hundreds of international #students have received an email telling them their #visas have been revoked.

The ‘justification’ is campus #activism or #SocialMedia posts.
