Foreign students and scholars in the United States are increasingly feeling anxious due to the rising fear of repercussions such as doxxing and deportation resulting from their criticisms of Trump administration policies. Recent incidents involving French and Middle Eastern academics have brought to light the intensified crackdown on dissenting voices, putting campus administrations in a difficult position. Right-wing activists and pro-Israel groups are actively fueling these conflicts, further exacerbating the apprehension within the academic community. The growing climate of fear and uncertainty among foreign scholars and students in the US is a cause for concern as it threatens academic freedom and the exchange of ideas.
