00:00An American-Arab anti-discrimination committee files a lawsuit claiming the Trump administration's
00:07deportation of international students and scholars who support Palestinian rights are
00:11unconstitutional.
00:13The lawsuit, filed on March 15 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of
00:17New York, seeks a temporary restraining order to block two executive orders signed by President
00:22Donald Trump early in his term.
00:24This after the arrest of a Columbia University student, Mahmoud Khalil, a 30-year-old permanent
00:29U.S. resident of Palestinian descent, whose arrest sparked protests this month.
00:34Justice Department lawyers say the U.S. government wants Khalil removed because Secretary of
00:38State Marco Rubio believes his activities or presence could harm U.S. foreign policy.
00:43On Friday, Rubio adds that the U.S. may revoke visas for more students soon.
00:48Trump vows to deport activists who participated in protests at U.S. college campuses against
00:52Israel's war in Gaza.
