It could be Gaza protesters sure but it could be anyone. Previously legal residents were deported for minor traffic violations. They’re trying to hit some targets for deportation numbers and shipping home “criminal” foreign students is an easy win.

No, it can't be anyone. Please don't do this. This is about the Palestinian situation. They tried to pressure the TikTok purchase so they change their algorithm to show less Gaza deaths. It is simply about that, and there is also a money trail of top donors that corroborate this. They also made a show of arresting the Columbia Palestinian organizer. They are not looking for illegal Mexicans in the Ivy League.

  Yes, the Admin is even more pro-Israel (and by that I mean pro-Israeli gov/Netanyahu) than previous ones. But it's also using accusations of anti-Semitism at these universities as a cover to generally bring these "liberal" institutions to heel (as outlined in Project2025). So it's not really about Gaza, Palestinians, or Jews. It's about control.

Of course it's about the Gaza protestors, let's not pretend otherwise.
