DoomsdaysCWAmerican Association of University Professors [<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AAUP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AAUP</a>] v. <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Rubio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Rubio</a>A case challenging the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trump</a> administration’s policy of ideological deportation."On March 25, 2025, the Knight Institute filed a lawsuit challenging the Trump administration’s policy of arresting, detaining, and deporting noncitizen students and faculty who participate in pro-Palestinian activism. The lawsuit, filed on behalf of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP), AAUP’s <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Harvard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Harvard</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NYU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NYU</a>, and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Rutgers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Rutgers</a> campus chapters, and the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MiddleEastStudies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MiddleEastStudies</a> Association, argues that the policy chills noncitizens from speaking and, by extension, robs these organizations and their U.S. citizen members of noncitizens’ perspectives on a matter of significant public debate."The lawsuit responds to a climate of repression and fear on university campuses. Federal agencies are attempting to deport multiple individuals for their <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ProPalestinian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ProPalestinian</a> advocacy, including <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MahmoudKhalil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MahmoudKhalil</a>, a leader of protests at Columbia University. These actions have sent chills through the community of noncitizen students and faculty on campuses around the country, causing some to pull out of academic conferences, stay home from <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/protests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#protests</a>, and withdraw from other forms of public advocacy and engagement."The lawsuit alleges that the administration’s policy of ideological deportation violates the First Amendment right of the plaintiffs to hear from and associate with noncitizen students and faculty, that it is unconstitutionally vague, and that it violates the Administrative Procedure Act. The suit seeks a court order declaring that the policy is unlawful and enjoining the federal government from enforcing it."Status: Complaint filed on March 25, 2025.Case Information: American Association of University Professors v.

"We believe that the administration’s ideological-deportation policy violates the First Amendment by targeting constitutionally protected speech that Americans have a right to hear and engage with. The policy has created a climate of fear and repression on campuses around the country. We are represented in the case by the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KnightFirstAmendmentInstitute" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#KnightFirstAmendmentInstitute</a> at <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ColumbiaUniversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ColumbiaUniversity</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AhilanArulanantham" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AhilanArulanantham</a>, and Zimmer, Citron & Clarke LLP."Following executive orders issued by President Trump in January, the federal agencies that enforce immigration laws have arrested and detained several people associated with U.S. colleges and universities, including a legal permanent resident, on the basis of constitutionally protected speech and association. "Today’s filing argues that the ideological-deportation policy has created a climate of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/repression" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#repression</a> and intense fear on university <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/campuses" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#campuses</a>, 'terrorizing students and faculty for their exercise of First Amendment rights in the past, intimidating them from exercising those rights now, and silencing political viewpoints that the government disfavors.'"'The Trump administration is going after international <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/scholars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#scholars</a> and students who speak their minds about <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Palestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Palestine</a>, but make no mistake: they won't stop there. They'll come next for those who teach the history of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/slavery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#slavery</a> or who provide <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GenderAffirming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GenderAffirming</a> health care or who research <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClimateChange</a> or who counsel students about their reproductive choices. We all have to draw a line together—as the old labor movement slogan says: an injury to one is an injury to all,' says AAUP President Todd Wolfson. "'The First Amendment means the government can’t arrest, detain, or deport people for lawful political expression—it’s as simple as that. This practice is one we’d ordinarily associate with the most repressive political regimes, and it should have no place in our democracy,' says <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/JameelJaffer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JameelJaffer</a>, executive director at the Knight First Amendment Institute."Source: <a href="https://www.aaup.org/news/aaup-allies-sue-over-trump-policy-arresting-and-threatening-deport-students-and-faculty-lawful" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.aaup.org/news/aaup-allies-sue-over-trump-policy-arresting-and-threatening-deport-students-and-faculty-lawful</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RightToProtest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RightToProtest</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SilencingDissent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SilencingDissent</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USPol</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CharacteristicsOfFascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CharacteristicsOfFascism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/law" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#law</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/immigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#immigration</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FreeSpeech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreeSpeech</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MarcoRubio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MarcoRubio</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trump</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FreedomOfAssembly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreedomOfAssembly</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Authoritarianism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Authoritarianism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Palestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Palestine</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CriminalizingDissent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CriminalizingDissent</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HigherEducation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HigherEducation</a>
