Federal court documents unsealed evidence that the Department of Homeland Security considered arrests and immigration actions tied to campus pro‑Palestinian activism, prompting fresh legal scrutiny of federal conduct. The material emerged in litigation brought by students and academics who alleged unlawful targeting for protected speech. A Boston federal judge warned the administration against altering the immigration status of plaintiffs in that suit and said those affected may seek immediate relief if officials attempt changes. The rulings place new limits on enforcement actions that intersect with campus protest activity and could shape how universities and federal agencies handle cases involving noncitizen students.
