Summary
ICE agents arrested Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil, a leader in Columbia University’s encampment movement, claiming his student visa was revoked.
However, his attorney Amy Greer states he has a green card, not a student visa.
Despite filing a habeas corpus petition, Greer can’t locate where Khalil is being held, noting his eight-months-pregnant wife couldn’t find him at a New Jersey facility.
The arrest follows Trump’s March 4 social media threat to defund universities allowing “illegal protests” and deport “agitators.”
Strictly speaking, everyone in the United States has the freedom of speech regardless of their being citizens or not.
With that being said, green cards and the like can be rescinded for a variety of reasons, particularly national security.
Add in the fact the Supreme Court has yet to firmly deny the right of Trump to do anything and the outright antisemitism at these protests, the picture of the future ain’t good for this guy.
They arrested him without a warrent for speech they didn’t like and disappeared him with no legal formality at all.
It is not anti-Semitic to protest Israel commiting genocide with the US’s help.
I also don’t think it’s reasonable to hold all of the protestors accountable for some of the protestors actions (assuming some actually are anti-semetic)
Perhaps not, but intimidating Jewish students and pledging loyalty to Hamas is.
What loony tunes world are you living in? Most baseless hasbara I’ve ever heard. Lemme guess the ICC is hamas too? Oxfam, amnesty are hamas? I could go on and on and on
