President Donald Trump will sign an executive order that will allow for the deportation of foreigners accused of antisemitism in the United States.
The measure includes students with valid visas who have been accused of antisemitism and participated in pro-Palestinian protests.
According to U.S. media, the order will be made official this Wednesday and seeks to toughen the country’s immigration policies.
«To all foreign residents who joined pro-jihadist protests, we warn you: in 2025 we will find you and deport you,» Trump states in a leaked draft.
Trump Takes Action Against Antisemites
The president also announced the immediate cancellation of visas for students who are Hamas sympathizers at universities.
Trump argues that university campuses have been invaded by unprecedented radical ideologies, detailed by ‘EFE’.

The Justice Department will have 60 days to compile information about antisemitic incidents in the country.
Cases of graffiti, distribution of pro-Palestinian propaganda, and acts of intimidation against the Jewish community will be analyzed.
The executive order to deport anti-Semitic activists responds to a report from the House of Representatives led by Republicans.
Six legislative committees requested more action against antisemitism following protests at Columbia University.
The protests against Israel spread to other university campuses after the offensive in Gaza.
The conflict has caused the death of more than 47,300 people since October 7.
Trump had already signed an executive order last week against foreigners supporting terrorist groups.
Hamas is considered a terrorist organization by the U.S. government.
The announcement also coincides with Trump’s invitation to Benjamin Netanyahu to the White House.
Netanyahu will be the first foreign leader to officially visit the United States under Trump’s second term.
The decision could increase tensions in a country divided by the conflict in the Middle East.
Democratic leaders have criticized Trump’s executive order for being a violation of freedom of speech.
Human rights advocates warn about the risk of criminalizing political activism.
Student protests have been a key point in the discussion on U.S. foreign policy.
Measures Against Activists
The administration of Joe Biden has also been criticized for its support of Israel in the conflict with Hamas.
This executive order to deport foreign activists could affect thousands of students.
At universities like Harvard and Yale, arrests of pro-Palestinian demonstrators have been recorded.
Pro-Israel groups have celebrated the measure, calling it necessary to curb antisemitism.
However, activists warn that it could be used to silence criticisms against the government of Israel.
The executive order may also face legal challenges from civil rights organizations.
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has expressed concern about its constitutionality.
Trump has promised to maintain a «zero tolerance» policy against extremism on university campuses.
The academic community has expressed concern about the implications of the measure on higher education.
Some universities have indicated they might protect their international students from deportations.
The impact of the order could be felt in the enrollment of foreign students in the U.S.
Many students from the Middle East might reconsider their studies at American universities.
The relationship between the U.S. and Israel has been a key point in Trump’s campaign to return to the White House.
The former president seeks to strengthen his base of support among pro-Israel voters and conservatives.
The measure also reinforces his tough stance on immigration ahead of the 2024 elections.
The American Jewish community has had mixed reactions to Trump’s executive order.
While some sectors see it as a necessary protection, others fear it may increase polarization.
Republican leaders in Congress have shown support for the measure as a step against extremism.
On the other hand, progressive legislators consider it could lead to political persecution against dissenters.
Courts might debate the legal impact of the order if activist groups file lawsuits.
The future of the executive order will depend on how it is implemented and the reactions from Congress and society to the deportation of activists.
Additionally, migration and antisemitism will continue to be central themes in U.S. political debate.
The coming months could define the real scope of the order and its consequences in American society, noted ‘EFE’.
