The Trump administration has intensified its immigration crackdown, warning Indian green card holders and foreign students against political activism. Officials stated that participation in anti-Israel protests or activities perceived as supporting terrorism could lead to deportation. White House advisor Stephen Miller declared, “If you support terrorism, we don’t want you here.” The move follows the arrest of a Columbia University student accused of pro-Hamas activism. A New York judge temporarily halted his deportation, but Trump vowed further action, stating, “This is the first arrest of many.” The policy raises concerns over freedom of speech and its impact on the Indian diaspora.
