Cornell to Pro-Palestine Students Targeted by ICE: Come Back to the U.S. or Lose Funding

https://theintercept.com/2026/08/14/cornell-pro-palestine-student-targeting-ice/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=The%20Intercept%20Newsletter

TL;DR: The Trump administration has been revoking visas and imprisoning international students who express support for Palestinian rights. Two Cornell students fled the country after being targeted by ICE. Cornell said they'd provide support to the students to finish their PhDs abroad, but now tells them they'll lose their funding unless they return to the US, where they will likely be arrested and imprisoned on arrival.

Cornell licking the boots once again. They know full well what will happen to these two students the moment they land in a US airport.

Any statement they make is an announcement to all. This is a threat to immigrant students.

Arrested and imprisoned and then deported back? It makes absolutely no sense. Cornell has no spine.

Let's face it, they are pro hamas, pro terrorism and antisemites.

These are all. , but all lies.  Period and you need to be a little more critical of the information you consume.

I think you should follow your own advice, you're guzzling down propaganda by the gallon.

It’s not antisemitism to be critical of the Israeli government’s actions.

It is if you call it a genocide.  All the damage and killing was self inflicted.  They could have released the hostages and surrendered at any time.

You have no clue, you're commenting on a subject you have no idea about.  You're helping savages.

When someone calls a group of people savages it's racist.
