From zeca's post in the thread I usually haunt, IQSA is against this:
https://iqsaweb.wordpress.com/policies/stb/

Dr Fred Donner is on the list. Donner in 2014 supported a boycott of academics from countries he disapproves:

Until Donner addresses that I consider him a hypocrite. Sorry.

^FWIW I think the idea of an academic boycott of Israel is misguided, whatever people's intentions.

`But I don't want to go among mad people,' Alice remarked.
`Oh, you can't help that,' said the Cat: `we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.'
`How do you know I'm mad?' said Alice.
`You must be,' said the Cat, `or you wouldn't have come here.'

Trump sacks defiant acting attorney general Sally Yates says BBC news

Quote
Donald Trump has fired the acting US attorney general after she questioned the legality of his immigration ban. Sally Yates, who was appointed by Barack Obama, ordered justice department lawyers not to enforce the president's executive order.
A White House statement accused Ms Yates of "betraying" the justice department and being "weak on borders".

Mr Trump replaced her with Dana Boente, US attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia.
Mr Boente said he was "honoured to serve President Trump" and immediately directed his department to enforce the controversial order. Mr Trump also replaced the acting director of the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Daniel Ragsdale, who has been in the post since 20 January. He is the former deputy director.

No reason was given for Mr Ragsdale's sacking. He has been replaced by Thomas Homan, the executive associate director of enforcement and removal.

If this account (claiming to be from a White House insider) is real then Trump himself seems to be pushing the idea.

It seems like a really bad idea to trust this account.

Even knowing the disclaimer on the article I find the very idea this can happen is horrible. If someone is claiming they need medical treatment help them. It shouldn't matter if you need to do a quick search or have an escort/supervision at the hospital. It shouldn't matter if it is merely a claim with no medical documents. Send themr to a hospital. Medical professionals can figure out if the claim is true or not.

Trump supposedly remove the greencard and visa restriction. However just like the EO itself it was put into practice so poorly it might as well be meaningless.

Free Speech or Hate Speech at UNM? Milo Yiannopoulos Encourages Students to ‘Purge Local Illegals’
Quote
The group UNM College Republicans invited Yiannopoulos to the Albuquerque campus, where he spoke to a crowd of about 600 people at the Student Union Building. An avid fan of President Donald Trump, Yiannopoulos rallied his audience with statements in favor of the proposed wall on the Mexican border and the ban on Muslim immigrants—interspersed with lewd and sexual jokes.

“Illegal people aren’t a race,” he said during his speech. “They’re people who don’t belong in your country.” Yiannopoulos went on to encourage his audience to “purge your local illegals” by reporting undocumented immigrants.

An estimated 1,000 people—representing various student and community groups—gathered on campus to protest the speech with signs reading “White supremacy is inexcusable” and “Immigrants are welcome; fascists are not.” Police on horseback and dressed in riot gear escorted protestors away from the event and discharged tear gas when they resisted.

“We came together in a peaceful protest, as students from marginalized communities,” said Hope Alvarado, a junior majoring in intercultural communication and Native American studies. “We wanted to let Milo know that we don’t accept his racism, his misogyny, his sexism.”

Alvarado, Navajo, is a member of the community activist group The Red Nation, which was outside the Student Union Building to protest Yiannopoulos and the university’s decision to allow the controversial speaker on campus.

“Shame on UNM for allowing someone so outwardly sexist and Islamophobic on campus,” Alvarado said. “Our message to Milo, his supporters and to the university is that hate speech is not welcome on our campus.”

The university defended the right to “free speech,” however, and acting President Chaouki Abdallah waived the $3,400 fee required of any group that wants to host an event on campus. The fee goes, in part, to pay for security at the event.

In a statement issued two days before the speech, Abdallah said the university is committed to the “principles of free speech” and values its role as a “marketplace of ideas.” Abdallah concluded that forcing UNM College Republicans to pay the $3,400 fee would “impact free speech on campus” and suspended the policy pending a thorough review.

Alvarado said students appealed ahead of time, pleading with administrators to cancel Yiannopoulos’s speech. When that failed, they protested at the event with the mission of shutting it down.

“We didn’t get it shut down,” said Alvarado, who was hit with tear gas during the protest. “But we sent a message. We waged a battle against someone who hates us for no reason other than who we are.”

The radical left complaining about the radical right. Hilarious. Milo is a professional troll. He knows it and anybody that watches him should notice it One of goals of his trolling is to expose members of the left as the violent people they are. He is very successful in doing this. Calling him a white supremacist has no basis, it is a smear tactic. However Milo and Breitbart pander to racist as customers.

Both sides are equivocating. Do notice how Milo brings up illegal immigrants then the left shifts this to just immigrants. Milo uses free speech as if it is the same as providing a platform to speak from. Denying a platform is not a denial of free speech.
