Students at Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti high schools stage walkouts to protest ICE

"ICE is doing horrible things around the country. The attention is on Minnesota, but they're in our communities here," Gaynor continued. "They were picking up parents in Ypsilanti. They picked up workers here in Ann Arbor."

US college students voice concern over Charlie Kirk’s idolization

"I do feel a level of sympathy for [Kirk's] family. But when I ask my close friends, we all agree that he was horrible; we don't agree with anything he stood for," John said. "It's hard to juxtapose. On one hand, obviously political violence is not something we should support. On the other hand, how can I feel sympathy for him when he had no sympathy for me?"… 

"America just isn't a good place to be in any more."…

The students who debated with Charlie Kirk: ‘His goal was to verbally defeat us’

"Charlie turned myriad opportunities for meaningful dialogic transactions rooted in civility and turned them into confrontational interactions by amplifying binaries in his argumentative structure," Woods wrote in an email. "What we know is that there is a spectrum of ideologies and worldviews, not just two: Charlie's and whoever is on the other side of the microphone." 

 Hasan Piker, the popular leftist Twitch streamer who was scheduled to debate with Charlie Kirk later this month, wrote in a guest essay published in the New York Times that his would-be opponent was an "expert" at "[taking] advantage of people's resentments and [redirecting] them toward vulnerable communities".

Trump’s Deportation Black Hole (Reveal podcast)

Expulsions based on tattoos and students targeted for supporting Gaza: Trump’s immigration actions are raising eyebrows and constitutional questions.

On March 15, federal agents rounded up more than 230 Venezuelan nationals who were then deported to El Salvador and locked up in the country’s notorious megaprison. The Trump administration said the men belonged to a violent Venezuelan gang but presented no evidence, and there were no court hearings in which the men could contest the allegations.

Nearly a month later, families of the Venezuelan men say they have heard nothing about their fate. It’s as if they disappeared.

“We’re living in a world where you can just be rounded up with no hearing, not even an administrative hearing, nothing,” says immigration attorney Joseph Giardina. “Why couldn’t you have let their cases be adjudicated? There’s no logical answer other than a publicity stunt.”

This week on Reveal, Mother Jones reporters Isabela Dias and Noah Lanard speak to the families and lawyers of 10 men now imprisoned at the Terrorism Confinement Center, known as CECOT. They vehemently deny allegations that the men are members of the Tren de Aragua criminal organization, and several provided evidence to support that.

To learn more about the Trump administration’s arrangement with the government of El Salvador, host Al Letson speaks with Carlos Dada, co-founder and director of El Faro, a Salvadoran investigative news outlet. Dada says that in addition to foreign nationals, the agreement also allows for American citizens convicted of crimes to be imprisoned in El Salvador.

As the Trump administration also targets international students who have spoken out about Israel’s war in Gaza, Reveal’s Najib Aminy reports on pro-Israel groups that are claiming to have shared lists of student protesters with the White House and then taking credit when some of those young people are targeted for deportation.

Cuny graduate school rolls back pregnant students’ protections after Trump letter

The Biden-era regulations explicitly required that schools set up a lactation room and made it easier for pregnant students to take leaves of absence. The erasure of these protections, advocates say, would seem to be at odds with Republican claims about the importance of raising families. 

"The fact that the Trump administration is rolling back these protections just shows that they don't actually care about pregnant people's lives, even though they claim to be pro-life," said Emma Grasso Levine, senior manager of Title IX policy and programs at the organization Advocates for Youth. "If they actually cared about the rights of women and folks who can get pregnant, they would be cementing protections like these."…

1 in 4 US medical students consider quitting, most don’t plan to treat patients: report | The Hill

"Students are committed to and positive about their education, but with concerns about mental health, study-life balance, combined with external worries such as the rise of misinformation and looming clinician shortages, some are considering quitting their course altogether, while others are thinking about non- patient-facing roles once qualified," the report stated…
