Trump administration's detention of pro-Palestine students labeled as "somewhat shady" by Joe Rogan
In the latest episode of "The Joe Rogan Experience," the host expressed his disapproval of President Trump's immigration enforcement policies. Rogan, known for his outspoken nature, asserted that universities should be a place for discourse and the free exchange of ideas.
Rogan's comments came in response to the detention and potential deportation of foreign-born university students who have been protesting against Israel. He criticized the Trump administration for targeting these students, stating that it is "shifty" for university students to be deported for criticizing certain entities.
Rogan claimed that increases in immigration have resulted in an "elevated number of assaults and crimes and robberies" in New York City. However, he denounced the Trump administration for detaining visa and green-card holders, despite a campaign promise of focusing on violent criminals.
Rogan's comments have attracted attention from various quarters. Actor Mark Ruffalo posted his criticism of Rogan on Threads, accusing him of an about-face on Trump's immigration policies.
Notably, Rogan expressed support for foreign-born university students in the U.S. who have been detained or face deportation for protesting Israel. He described Trump's immigration enforcement as an "overcorrection."
The detention and potential deportation of foreign students is not a new issue. Rümeysa Öztürk, a student from Tufts University, was taken by federal agents and held for more than six weeks after co-authoring an op-ed calling for the university to divest from Israeli companies.
Similarly, Mahmoud Khalil, a green-card holder, was detained after the administration claimed his beliefs and presence in the U.S. could hurt American foreign policy. Another Columbia student, Mohsen Mahdawi, was arrested during his citizenship interview and released after 16 days in detention.
However, there are no publicly available names of university students who were detained or threatened with deportation by the Trump administration in connection with their protest against Israel according to the provided search results.
In conclusion, Joe Rogan's latest comments on "The Joe Rogan Experience" have added to the ongoing debate about immigration enforcement and free speech in universities. His criticisms of the Trump administration's policies and support for detained students have garnered attention and sparked discussions about the role of universities and the rights of foreign students.
