What we are seeing is a concerted purge of all middle eastern students, to start with, regardless of status, social media presence or anything else. Remember, Trump thinks these countries are S...thole countries and this is part and parcel of an upcoming ban I read about of about 40 some odd countries on this supposed list. Instead of spending lots of manhours sorting through social media and TV footage for anyone who may have participated in a protest, posted on social media or any other form of dissent of Trump's foreign policies, Israel's policies or any support of Palestine, Hamas, Hezbollah, or anything else they want to flag, it's easier to just deport all of them and not have to worry about it.

Much like enacting blanket tariffs towards everyone in the world, instead of working to sort through targeted tariffs that might actually do some good.

Some soldiers used to say back during the wars, "Just shoot them all and let God sort out who's the enemy or not." This is kind of like that. Just deport them all and let things sort themselves out afterward.

Trump is lazy and doesn't give a damn. Round them all up and send them all home. He doesn't care about the loss of tuition and other money spent by these students, He doesn't care about anything other than keeping his donors happy. And his biggest donors are the Israeli lobbies right now. Which is why these Zionist groups with their lists of deportees, are able to have an inside channel to the state department and Homeland Security.

Now it's up to the judiciary to stop this madness, if they can. Without their own enforcement troops, I, like a lot of people, are asking, how do they plan on enforcing these court orders? So far, they haven't. Trump is running roughshod over the top of these judges so far. The republican legislature is largely absent without leave. How far will he go? Is he daring anyone to stop him since he owns the DOJ, which includes every federal law enforcement entity under the federal attorney general? How does this not look like the start of a slow coup?
