District Judge Noel Wise in San Jose, California in a blistering ruling. Wise's ruling focused on how the Trump administration, from March 2025, began revoking visas and detaining non-citizens who engaged in pro-Palestinian advocacy on campus. The State Department and DHS did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The ruling was similar to a decision last year by Boston-based U.S. District Judge William Young. A US federal judge has ruled that provisions used by the Trump administration to revoke visas and pursue deportation of noncitizen college students over pro-Palestinian advocacy and criticism of Israel are unconstitutional. Judge Noel Wise said targeting protected speech based on its viewpoint violated constitutional protections and warned against government retaliation.
