Скачать или смотреть Detained for dissent: Judge slams Trump’s campus crackdown as ‘authoritarian’

A Reagan-appointed federal judge delivered a stunning rebuke of the Trump administration’s crackdown on pro-Palestinian campus activists — calling it an “unconstitutional suppression of free speech.” In September after students and scholars were detained and nearly deported without being charged with crimes, Judge William G. Young warned the U.S. must not become a country that punishes dissent. This week, he went even further, describing the administration’s actions as “authoritarian,” and an unconstitutional attempt to “pick off” people for their speech. Wesleyan University President Michael Roth, weighs in, “this is an aberration, and we have to call it out and name it as such, because otherwise it gets normalized.”
