President Trump recently declared that students participating in protests at colleges should face arrest or deportation. In a Truth Social post, he also threatened to withdraw federal funding from institutions permitting such demonstrations. Though not specifically mentioning pro-Palestinian protests, Trump's past comments directly associate student dissent with deportable offenses.
