White House says immigration officials are seeking more pro-Palestinian protesters

from #NPR #NationalPublicRadio [US]

Elena Moore

The #WhiteHouse is defending the arrest of pro- #Palestinian protest leader and #ColumbiaUniversity graduate student #MahmoudKhalil, and says the #DepartmentOfHomelandSecurity plans to arrest more protesters moving forward.

On Tuesday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the decision to arrest Khalil, a green card holder who is of Palestinian descent, fell in line with President #Trump's recent executive order aimed at cracking down on antisemitism on U.S. campuses. The order allows the administration to revoke visas and deport international students if they're determined to be "pro-jihadist" or "#Hamas sympathizers."

#ICE arrests #Palestinian protest leader at #Columbia, in sharp escalation of campus actions

Jewish groups and leaders immediately spoke out both in favor and against the arrest

from #TheForward #Forward
[#Jewish publication from #USA]

"#BendTheArc, a progressive #Jewish group..., tweeted that President #DonaldTrump was playing on fears of antisemitism in order to pursue an anti-democratic agenda.

“The #WhiteHouse’s authoritarian actions are being falsely done in our name as #Jews, by a President and politicians who actively use antisemitism and do not speak for Jews,” the group tweeted. “We’ve been afraid this day would come since campus protests began. Free speech and education are pillars of our democracy, and a healthy democracy is what keeps Jews safest.”

The Anti-Defamation League ... praised the arrest while calling for immigration law to be followed. "
