The Stanford student newspaper has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration, challenging the use of immigration laws that allegedly target pro-Palestinian students and have led to fears of deportation among international student writers. This legal action highlights concerns over First Amendment rights and the chilling effect such policies have on free speech, particularly among noncitizen students. The lawsuit comes amid broader advocacy efforts against perceived attacks on free speech by prominent figures, including lawmakers such as Rubio and Noem. The case underscored the tension between immigration enforcement and the protection of free expression within academic settings.
