UW students react to Trump's executive order to combat antisemitism

President Trump signed an executive order Wednesday that addresses antisemitism on college campuses.
The new policy would direct the federal government to cancel student visas for what the White House calls "Hamas sympathizers."
KOMO News spoke with students and organizations on both sides of the issue at the University of Washington.
Some pro-Palestinian groups are calling it a threat to their free speech, while a Jewish organization said it’s needed to protect Jewish students from campus harassment and violence.
The president’s order would cancel the visas of non-citizen students who were found to have broken the law during protests.
Pro-Palestinian groups at UW say it’s a way of silencing them.

“I’m not surprised that they are trying to specifically target vulnerable populations through visas and through threats of deportation,” said Noah Weight.
In contrast, a Jewish organization is applauding the Trump administration for its efforts to protect Jewish students.
“This would combat antisemitism and hold those accountable who commit antisemitic harassment and violence, and this should be a clear signal that enough is enough,” said Regina Sassoon Friedland, regional director for the American Jewish Committee.
Last May, pro-Palestinian protesters took over the UW quad.
The American Jewish Committee said the weeks-long protest discriminated against Jewish students on campus and many felt unsafe.
“Some students perceived that some things were tolerated and some things weren’t followed through, and there weren’t penalties for the perpetrators of those acts, and discrimination should never be tolerated,” said Friedland.
Pro-Palestinian group Students United for Palestinian Equality and Return said Trump’s order is not going to be a deterrent.
“These repressive measures are scary, but ultimately, it’s not something that’s going to stop us in the work that we’re doing,” said Weight.
KOMO News reached out to the University of Washington for a comment on the executive order, and what it means for any pro-Palestinian events being held on the campus, but has not heard back.

Let’s be clear, F1 visa holders are not USA citizens. Hence they don’t have the same rights.

[@d_dave7200]

Actually the Constitution applies to visa holders, and even undocumented immigrants. The framers believed in human rights, not American rights.

[@Austin4555]

​@@d_dave7200 Where does it say that

[@Shjl-z9x]

@ Non-immigrants (including F, J, H-1B, O-1 visa holders) have only Certain constitutional rights in the U.S. they don’t have the right to vote.

[@d_dave7200]

​@ The vast majority of articles of the constitution (particularly the Bill of Rights) do not say citizen. They refer to all "people". The ones that do are for specific things such as the requirements to run for President. If they wanted to make human rights apply only to citizens they would have said so, and indeed this is how they enacted the Constitution in the early days of America, when the Framers were still around. So it's clearly how it was understood at the time. This has also been well-established in multiple court cases that challenged it. Additionally, this was further clarified in the 14th amendment which requires state governments to provide equal protection under the law to all people within their jurisdiction. This particular amendment DOES have some parts that mention citizens. But the rights that are mentioned (equal protection under the law, due process) are mentioned as applying to people, not citizens. This was on purpose.

[@Shjl-z9x]

@@d_dave7200 as mentioned before, only certain rights. The fact that we as citizen can vote and the undocumented or visa holder cannot vote, make a big difference. It is very dangerous if we do not protect the right to vote as citizen. Again visa holders enjoy CERTAIN constitutional right but not all.

Yes everyone should be easily identifiable while doing anything in protest. I think we should also have a special clandestine peacekeeping force to check papers and note down the names of dissidents. A secret police, if you will.

I work with Afghans who have stated that Israel is evil and that Palestine was doing what they had to do. Which was reference to the attack on Israel on Oct 7. We need to remember that these people harbored the people that executed 9 11. They havent changed and never will.
