Stanford Student Newspaper Sues Trump Administration For Revoking Visas Over Protected Speech
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Stanford University student newspaper has filed a First Amendment
lawsuit against Secretary of State Marco Rubio over the Trump
administration's campaign to revoke visas of noncitizens over
constitutionally protected speech, including criticism of Israel. Greta
Reich, editor-in-chief of The Stanford Daily, said, "There's real fear
on campus and it reaches into the newsroom. I've had reporters turn down
assignments, request the removal of some of their articles, and even
quit the paper because they fear deportation for being associated with
speaking on political topics, even in a journalistic capacity."
