A two-week trial began Monday in Boston federal court over efforts by the Trump administration to arrest and deport foreign pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel activists on college campuses, marking the first of its kind since President Donald Trump took office.
Lawyers representing a university faculty union told a federal judge that the Trump administration’s efforts to deport certain noncitizens protesting the Israel-Hamas war violated their First Amendment rights and the Administrative Procedures Act, a law governing the process for developing and issuing regulations. Plaintiffs represented include staff and students from New York University, Rutgers University, and Harvard University.
