Donald Trump’s weaponization of ICE and Homeland Security to target pro-P*lestinian students

Donald Trump’s weaponization of ICE and Homeland Security to target pro-P*lestinian students like Columbia scholar Ranjani Srinivasan is a glaring example of fascism in action.

Srinivasan, an Indian PhD candidate, had her visa abruptly revoked without explanation, faced warrantless intimidation by federal agents, and was publicly smeared by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem as a “terrorist sympathizer” for daring to speak out against Isr*el’s g*nocide in G*za.

Forced to flee the U.S. to avoid potential arrest, despite zero charges or evidence, her ordeal epitomizes state repression:

silencing dissent, criminalizing solidarity, and wielding immigration enforcement to terrorize marginalized voices.

This is not an isolated incident but part of a broader crackdown on student activism and academic freedom under Trump’s authoritarian playbook.

Stand in solidarity with Ranjani and all those targeted for defending P*lestinian liberation.
