A pro-Israel doxing group with ties to Jeffrey Epstein's financial backer reportedly helped the State Department pick which people to deport, a troubling sign for free speech on US campuses.

• Marco Rubio's State Department leaned on Canary Mission, an Israel-based group, to flag foreign students for removal.
• Canary Mission publishes the names of students involved in pro-Palestinian activism, costing them jobs and future careers.
• Its writers are tied to the Wexner Foundation, funded by the billionaire who managed Epstein's money.
• Laura Loomer pushed for a US-born journalist to be stripped of citizenship and have his passport pulled over reporting from Iran.
• She said she reported him to the FBI, State Department, and DHS, and called for a dawn raid on his home.

Outlook: Expect more pressure on Rubio to explain how outside groups gained influence over deportation decisions.
