Hundreds of #TwinCities #HighSchool #students walked out of school Monday to #protest federal #immigration enforcement in #Minnesota, and some school leaders in the region are increasingly concerned about high absenteeism with families fearing being caught up in #US Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations.
An estimated 500 high school students walked out of Roseville High School Monday morning, walking from their school, around the parking lot and onto a bridge over Minnesota Highway 36 in Roseville.

US judge orders deportation of activist #MahmoudKhalil to Syria, Algeria
#US immigration judge said prominent pro-#Palestine activist withheld information on green card application.
From #AlJazeera
18 Sep 2025Court documents, revealed on Wednesday by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), showed that Louisiana immigration Judge Jamee Comans issued the ruling on September 12, accusing Khalil of failing to disclose key information when he applied and secured lawful permanent residency in the US.
Judge Comans claimed that Khalil did not disclose his ties to the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) and #Columbia University Apartheid Divest, an activist group which advocates for an economic boycott of #Israel, on his green card application, describing it as a “lack of candor” by the applicant.

University of #Michigan still punishing pro-#Palestine students after graduating
Arbitration hearings carried out this summer are overreach, former students say
from #MiddleEastEye
By #MEE staff
Published date: 2 September 2025A little over a year ago, Drin Shapiro was a student programme assistant at the #UniversityOfMichigan's (UM) English Language Institute, and a student in his final year of a bachelor's degree in history.
Since then, he has faced criminal charges brought by the state's attorney general, lost his on-campus job, spent time behind bars, and, as of last month, was still being disciplined by the university despite having graduated in May.
All of this was because he took part in a student encampment against the war on #Gaza on 21 May 2024. He was arrested during the police raid of the encampment and was later released on bond.

I spent decades at Columbia. I’m withdrawing my fall course due to its deal with #Trump
Rashid Khalidifrom #TheGuardian #Guardian
Fri 1 Aug 2025 06.00 EDTColumbia’s capitulation has turned a #university that was once a site of free inquiry and learning into a shadow of its former self, an-anti university, a gated security zone with electronic entry controls, a place of fear and loathing, where faculty and students are told from on high what they can teach and say, under penalty of severe sanctions. Disgracefully, all of this is being done to cover up one of the greatest crimes of this century, the ongoing genocide in #Gaza, a crime in which #Columbia’s leadership is now fully complicit.

Those Attacking Pro-Palestinian Student Protests Endanger Jews
from #WorldOutlook
July 23, 2025It’s Not Gaza Campus Protests That Endanger Jews, It’s Misguided Efforts to ‘Protect’ Them
What truly poses a danger to #Jews today is not young people demanding peace on campuses, it’s the way in which authorities, both university and governmental, but also the Jewish establishment, respond
article below was first published by Haaretz
July 22, 2025Its author, Elijah Kahlenberg, is the president and founder of Atidna International, a university-based peace group uniting Jewish and Arab students.
Kahlenberg, who is #Jewish, graduated this spring from the University of Texas, Austin. Last year, he took part in UT student protests condemning #Israel’s genocidal war in #Gaza and demanding the school divest from entities that do business with Israel.

Freed from #ICE detention, #MahmoudKhalil files $20 million claim against Trump administration

Updated 3:47 PM EDT, July 10, 2025[good article - contains interview excerpts and photos]
"Inside, Khalil said he was denied his ulcer medication, forced to sleep under harsh fluorescent lights and fed “nearly inedible” food, causing him to lose 15 pounds (7 kilograms). “I cannot remember a night when I didn’t go to sleep hungry,” Khalil recalled.
Meanwhile, the #Trump administration publicly celebrated the arrest, promising to deport him and others whose protests against #Israel it dubbed “pro-terrorist, anti-Semitic, anti-American activity.” "

#ADL chief compares student protesters to Islamist terrorists
#JonathanGreenblatt also said protests against #Israel were driven by ‘same kind of nihilists’ who participated in Black Lives Matter

[#Jewish publication from #USA]By Arno Rosenfeld and Jacob Kornbluh June 6, 2025
[contains links to audio of his speech]
"“We are an apolitical, non-partisan organization, but you have to be deaf, dumb and blind not to see what’s happening on the left,” #Greenblatt said Friday, according to audio from the event obtained by the #Forward.
“There is a throughline from Occupy Wall Street to BLM to ‘defund the police’ to ‘River to the Sea,’” he added, referring to the Black Lives Matter movement launched a decade ago to protest police violence. “They are the same people, these are the same kind of nihilists.”"

University of Michigan using undercover investigators to surveil student #Gaza protesters
Revealed: security trailing students on and off campus as video shows investigator faking disability when confronted
Tom Perkins
Fri 6 Jun 2025 06.00 EDT"The #UniversityOfMichigan is using private, undercover investigators to surveil pro-#Palestinian campus groups, including trailing them on and off campus, furtively recording them and eavesdropping on their conversations, #theGuardian has learned.
The surveillance appears to largely be an intimidation tactic, five students who have been followed, recorded or eavesdropped on said. The undercover investigators have cursed at students, threatened them and in one case drove a car at a student who had to jump out of the way, according to student accounts and video footage shared with the #Guardian."

Judge says US effort to deport Mahmoud Khalil on foreign policy grounds is likely unconstitutional
from #AssociatedPress #AP #APNews
By JAKE OFFENHARTZ
Updated 6:58 PM EDT, May 28, 2025NEW YORK (AP) — A federal judge said the #Trump administration’s effort to deport #MahmoudKhalil because of his pro-#Palestinian activism at #ColumbiaUniversity likely violates the #Constitution.
In a lengthy order issued Wednesday, Judge Michael Farbiarz wrote the government’s primary justification for removing Khalil — that his beliefs may pose a threat to U.S. foreign policy — could open the door to vague and arbitrary enforcement.

Heritage officials said they did not know whether the White House, which has its own #antisemitism task force, had used Project Esther as a guide. Administration officials declined to discuss it. But Robert Greenway, a Heritage national security director who coauthored #ProjectEsther, said it was “no coincidence that we called for a series of actions to take place privately and publicly, and they are now happening.”

And I was — my cell was C-38, the first cell in that C section where the migrants are. So, I saw waves of the migrants. Those are not just migrants.
