In recent weeks, the government has revoked hundreds, possibly thousands, of student visas, many from individuals who have protested against the genocide in Gaza, criticized Israel publicly, or asked for universities to divest.

An investigation by The Guardian revealed that pro-Israel members of U-M’s  board had pressed Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel to bring charges against the students. The report notes that six of eight regents donated more than $33,000 combined to Nessel’s campaigns in order to influence the attorney to do so.

Bottom line, you can protest for climate change, black lives matter, immigrants rights, but if you protest against Israel then be prepared to be targeted and put on a list, raided, and possibly deported.

Protests at institutions of higher learning are especially threatening to those who support Israel as there is precedent for student activism that eventually led to the end of the similarly racist apartheid regime in South Africa.
