A federal judge in Boston has proposed restricting the Trump administration's ability to deport noncitizen student activists who are members of two major academic organizations, citing concerns over First Amendment violations. Judge William G. Young criticized the administration for what he called an unconstitutional abuse of power, targeting students involved in campus protests against Israel. Under his proposed order, any attempt to deport these students would require the government to justify its actions in court and prove they are not retaliatory. The judge limited his remedy to members of the organizations that sued, despite calls for broader protections, and signaled he would issue a formal order after reviewing a draft from the groups' lawyers. The case highlights ongoing tensions over free speech, academic freedom, and immigration enforcement under the Trump administration.
