Judge: Trump Illegally Targeted Pro-Palestinian Student Protesters

A judge ruled that the Trump administration wrongly tried to punish non-citizen students who spoke out in support of Palestinians.

The judge said the government violated the students' free speech rights.

The administration had targeted these students for arrest and possible deportation.

The judge, William Young, was highly critical of the administration's actions, calling them unconstitutional.

He is planning a future hearing to decide how to resolve the situation.
