Citing the importance of the First Amendment, a federal judge in California says the U.S. government can not deport critics of Israel.
Judge Noël Wise *** delivered a victory for the student newspaper at Stanford University, which has said some international students were afraid to speak out because of the deportation threat.
The decision largely piggybacks on findings from nearly a year ago by a U.S. district judge in Boston, who ruled that the Trump administration violated the Constitution when it targeted people who are not citizens for deportation solely for supporting Palestinians and criticizing Israel.
*** Wise wrote that the freedoms of speech and the press are “foundational to America’s enduring democracy.” The judge cited free-speech and vagueness flaws that violate the First Amendment and Fifth Amendment as she struck down portions of the provisions that the federal government follows regarding deportations.
Wise cited retaliation in March 2025 by U.S. immigration authorities against people who engaged in speech supporting the Palestinians and against Israel's actions — which a growing number of experts, including those commissioned by a U.N. body, have said amount to genocide. The judge also cited retaliation against people who were critical of Charlie Kirk after the Turning Point USA co-founder was assassinated last September.
“Tomorrow, or perhaps even today, targets may include anyone in the United States who exercises their freedom of speech to simply express opinions the government does not like,” the judge in San Jose said.
“This downward spiral is antithetical to our Constitution that recognizes our right to speak freely,” she added. “Here you can simultaneously hate the content of a person’s speech and love the country that cherishes the freedom to allow it. Zealous protection of our Constitutional right to free speech is a provocative demonstration of our country’s powerful lack of fear.”***

Deport the judge
Didn’t a similar case happen where Rubio revoked a Visa, a federal Judge said no, then the Supreme Court said, “yes, he can.”
Wonder if she’s that aggressive in protecting the Second Amendment??
Biden appointee
I doubt it.
Yet another libtard judge we need to remove from the bench.
“Here you can simultaneously hate the content of a person’s speech and love the country that cherishes the freedom to allow it.”
That is true, but they HATE Jews, Christians, Israel and the USA and would destroy all in a heartbeat. “Cherishes” our freedoms — what a joke.
I am imagining an article for the Babylon Bee ...
Describing preemptive injunctions from judges
prohibiting president Trump from doing things
that he has not done ...
-can not cut hands off of thieves
-can not dunk people in water to determine if they are a witch
-can not brand the foreheads of adulterers with an “A”
etc.
“Trump Cannot Deport Students for Criticizing Israel, Judge Rules”
I think the federal government should deport any foreigners who engage in speech against our allies. Visitors should behave themselves in a foreign country.

Note this bit...
“...Yet the Supreme Court has also suggested that the extent of due process protection may vary depending upon [the alien’s] status and circumstance.7 In various opinions, the Court has suggested that at least some of the constitutional protections to which an alien is entitled may turn upon whether the alien has been admitted into the United States or developed substantial ties to this country.8 Thus, while the Court has recognized that due process considerations may constrain the Federal Government’s exercise of its immigration power, there is some uncertainty regarding the extent to which these constraints apply with regard to aliens within the United States.”
What a cluster.
Where the hell do the DemonRATS find all of the scum filled judgy robes? I didn’t think there was enough waste of human skin to fill all the Feral judgy slots.
Huh... where was this judge for the last 10 years as the government forcibly silenced conservatives?
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech (Unless you say something bad about Israel or our other allies, unless it is Canada because presently we don’t like Canada)or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
Criticized Israel or called for the destruction and slaughter of Israelites?
Criticizing the government policy of another nation is just fine, but associating with and being members of terrorist groups which are rabidly antisemitic and violent is another matter, as is taking part in riots. People can talk all they want, but when one turns to violence, that’s crossing the line.
The government will have to get creative and be peristent.
She was appointed to the federal bench just 15 months ago. For the remaining 105 months, she was an Alameda County Superior Court judge where I doubt she heard any First Amendment cases.
>>Wise wrote that the freedoms of speech and the press are “foundational to America’s enduring democracy.”
The why hasn’t the judge struck down the “Stop Nick Shirley Act”?
How convenient
Where did they find this braindead Merry Christmas Wise Guys Dipstick “judgette?”
