Since President Donald Trump’s administration began revoking international students’ visas in early March, The Huntington News has seen an unprecedented number of writers request The News de-index or unpublish opinion pieces critical of the U.S. government.

Most of these requests flooded in after Tufts University graduate student Rümeysa Öztürk was arrested by plainclothes federal officers March 25. The United States Department of Homeland Security cited an op-ed Öztürk co-authored in Tufts’ student newspaper calling on the university to divest from companies with ties to Israel as a justification for her arrest.

Given the government’s targeting of those who express certain political views and its mass revocation of international students’ visas across the country, The News is granting, on a case-by-case basis, writers’ requests to take down op-eds authored before March 2025.

We hope this page, which will be continuously updated, serves as a visual representation of the voices that have been silenced within our community out of fear of government retaliation. The work we have taken down ranges from a student’s personal experience as a woman in a male-dominated field to a reflection on the 2024 election that urged readers to remain compassionate in future political discourse.
