SUMMARY: Lawmakers are pushing for stronger action against growing antisemitism on college campuses, citing over 300 foreign students losing their visas. Critics argue this is a campaign to suppress free speech, as some students protesting Israel’s actions in Gaza face arrests, such as Risa Auster and Makmoud Khalil. Secretary of State Marco Rubio supports visa cancellations for pro-Hamas individuals. At least 60 universities are under investigation for antisemitism, with threats of funding cuts if they don’t address discrimination. Progressive lawmakers caution against labeling all critics of Israel as terrorists. The Trump administration may also limit foreign student admissions at certain universities.

The latest chapter of the college campus crackdown is manifesting itself in videos that are now going viral, like the one of Tufts Graduate student Rumeysa Ozturk detained by ICE agents on the street, as she was going out to meet her friends.
