A federal judge has ruled that the Trump administration violated the constitutional rights of international students in seeking to deport them for their pro-Palestinian activism and criticism of Israel. The ruling is the result of a lawsuit filed by The Stanford Daily, the student newspaper at Stanford University, which claimed that some of its writers on student visas declined to report on topics related to Israel and Palestine, or requested their published articles be removed from the paper’s website, for fear of deportation.

“What we were hearing from the noncitizens in our newsroom and from noncitizens across campus — current students, former students, alumni — was that they were genuinely frightened because of what they saw in the headlines, what they saw happen to Rümeysa Öztürk,” says George Porteous, editor-in-chief of The Stanford Daily. Rümeysa Öztürk is the former Tufts University graduate student arrested and detained by ICE after co-authoring an op-ed encouraging Tufts to divest from Israel in her university’s student newspaper.

“The chill is the point,” adds Will Creeley, legal director at the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, or FIRE, the organization that represented The Stanford Dailyin court. “That’s a First Amendment violation every day of the week. It’s flatly un-American.”

That blue-dot farmer is saying what a lot of people don’t want to hear: your vote didn’t just affect your farm. People lost jobs, families watched their grocery bills climb, and Americans struggled to afford basic meals while policies you supported hurt people you may never meet. Now that the pain has reached your own fields and your own wallet, you’re angry? Welcome to the consequences everyone else has been dealing with. Those very same consequences doesn’t just stop at your farm gate.

>Fox News Host: But when you're winning in Illinois, you're happy to play by these rules. 

James Talarico: Again, I've condemned all gerrymandering across the country.

And in fact, when Democrats had a majority in Congress, they voted to ban gerrymandering in every state, red states and blue states.

Do you know how many Republican members of Congress joined them in that effort? 

>Fox News Host: Which one? I'm sorry, which state did you just refer to? 

James Talarico: I'm asking, do you know how many Republicans joined Democrats in the U.S. Congress to ban gerrymandering?

All the Democrats voted for it. Zero Republicans voted for it. Zero. You can spare me the both sides rhetoric.

It's clearly one side that is trying to rig the rules in the middle of the game.

This is like two football teams coming out of the locker room at halftime. And the team that's ahead says they want to change the rules for the second half so they can win the game.

All of us would be throwing food at the TV if that happened.

We don't accept cheating in our politics. We don't accept cheating in our relationships. We shouldn't accept cheating in our elections.

>Fox News Host: You've done the same thing as us. And we are going to, by the way, if you do it, we're going to ratchet it up even more in the words we have in news. 

James Talarico: My party has never gerrymandered in the middle of the decade at the request of the president of the United States, nor would we.

The only way this is going to happen in blue states is if Texas executes this power grab.

You mentioned Massachusetts. Do you know the party of the governor that signed that map into law?

He was a Republican.

It was a Republican governor that signed that map into law. So I just want to be I want to be clear with our facts. And I don't want to muddy the waters.

All of us, whether we're Democrats, Independents or Republicans, we should stand up to politicians who don't want to face accountability at the ballot box.

That's exactly what's happening here.

And I asked you if Republican policies are popular, why do they need to redraw these maps?

Why can't they just run on their policies?

>Fox News Host: I'm getting wrapped on time.
I'm enjoying this conversation.

>I want to let it go on. And I apologize.
That's such is the nature of cable television.
