Sanders slams Trump for trying to deport Columbia student: 'You can't exile political dissidents'

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) slammed the Trump administration’s attempt to deport a Columbia University student who participated in pro-Palestinian protests on campus.

“You can't exile political dissidents. Not in the United States,” Sanders wrote in a Tuesday post on X. 

His comments came hours after a federal judge ruled that Yunseo Chung, a 21-year-old lawful permanent resident, cannot be removed until the court had a chance to consider her arguments against the effort more carefully.
