Newly unsealed court documents show Department of Homeland Security officials recommended arrests and immigration actions tied to pro‑Palestinian campus activism, according to court filings. The disclosures undercut government denials and underscore how enforcement operations intersect with campus speech. In response, a federal judge in Boston warned the administration that it cannot lawfully alter the immigration status of students who sued over alleged targeting and ordered protections if the government attempts to do so. Legal advocates and university counsel say the rulings establish a new check on enforcement actions aimed at campus organizers and create immediate compliance obligations for DHS and related agencies.
