The Stanford Daily Publishing Corporation and two student journalists have sued Secretary Rubio and Secretary Noem over the Trump administration's actions targeting students and university organizations that criticize Israel or express support for Palestinian rights. The Stanford Daily Publishing Corporation is a non-profit corporation that operates _The Stanford Daily_, the Stanford University student newspaper. The two individual plaintiffs in this case are student journalists who are present in the U.S. legally and have published pro-Palestinian articles. These students fear deportation based on their pro-Palestinian views. President Trump has repeatedly threatened to deport university students who protest the genocide of Palestinians or express criticism of Israel, and has acted on these threats upon returning to office. The plaintiffs argued that the targeting and deportation of students based on their ideology or political expression violates their First Amendment right to freedom of expression as well as their Fifth Amendment right to due process. The plaintiffs requested that the court declare the deportation of students based on their political beliefs unlawful and issue an injunction preventing further targeting of students for engaging in protected speech.
