In a sweeping crackdown on dissent, the U.S. government is targeting voices of conscience. ICE has detained and threatened permanent residents and international students simply for expressing pro-Palestinian views. This is political repression, plain and simple. CLEAR is on the front lines — leading the legal defense for students detained by ICE and standing with many more at risk. We will not be silent, and we will not let these attacks go unchallenged.
