Trump threatens to deport, arrest pro-Palestine students

WORLD, March 06 (YPA) – US President Donald Trump has threatened to halt federal funding for any college or university that allows “illegal protests” to take place, saying he would punish students who participate in the demonstrations.

Trump made the warning in a post on his social media platform Truth Social on Tuesday, after pro-Palestinian protesters gathered outside the campus of Colombia University in New York City.

“All Federal Funding will STOP for any College, School, or University that allows illegal protests,” he said.

The president went on to say that “agitators” will either be imprisoned or permanently sent back to the country from which they came, adding that “American students will be permanently expelled or, depending on the crime, arrested.”

He didn’t specifically mention pro-Palestine protests in his post, but Trump has previously threatened to deport any student who took part in protests against Israel’s genocide of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
