“A federal judge in Boston lambasted Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on Thursday for what he called an ‘unconstitutional conspiracy’ to target pro-Palestine students for their speech. ‘These cabinet secretaries have failed in their sworn duty to uphold the Constitution,’ U.S. District Judge William Young exclaimed, later invoking the Fugitive Slave Act to describe the modern-day conundrum of federal immigration enforcement.
