There are laws that make it illegal to boycott isreal.
- There shouldn't be.
- Those are exclusively limited to preventing state agencies from awarding contracts to companies boycotting Israel. There's no law against any individual boycotting Israel.
The problem is that they're ONLY deporting a select few around their pet causes. Not foreign nationals who break the law for other reasons. If Trump said, "we're revoking the visas of foreigners who disturb the peace on college campuses," that's great. Instead it's always muh antisemitism. He could have taken the EXACT same action and framed it as America-first. Or just generally as anti-terrorist. Instead, he chose to present it as Israel-first. Why did he think that was the most beneficial optics?
