ACLU sues University of Michigan over campus bans for pro-Palestinian protesters

From Bre­it­bart:

Pro-Pales­tin­ian demon­stra­tions swept col­lege cam­pus­es last spring, with activists set­ting up tent encamp­ments and, in some cas­es, esca­lat­ing their protests fur­ther. Thou­sands were arrest­ed; while many had their cas­es dis­missed, oth­ers remain in legal lim­bo as they pur­sue their edu­ca­tion.

On Wednes­day, Pres­i­dent Don­ald Trump signed an exec­u­tive order call­ing for aggres­sive action to fight anti­semitism on col­lege cam­pus­es and promis­ing to pros­e­cute offend­ers and revoke visas for inter­na­tion­al stu­dents found to be what he called “Hamas sym­pa­thiz­ers.”

Michi­gan has been deeply affect­ed by ten­sions over the Israel-Hamas war, with metro Detroit home to the nation’s largest Arab Amer­i­can com­mu­ni­ty and a sig­nif­i­cant Jew­ish pop­u­la­tion. These dynam­ics have sparked unrest on Uni­ver­si­ty of Michi­gan cam­pus­es, result­ing in police clash­es with pro­test­ers and demon­stra­tors tar­get­ing uni­ver­si­ty regents for protests.
