Khalil’s March 7 email came after an earlier Jan. 31 email he sent, in which he urged the school “to take immediate action to protect international students at Columbia facing severe and pervasive doxing, discriminatory harassment, and very possibly deportation in retaliation for the lawful exercising of their rights to freedom of speech, expression, and association…”
Khalil cited a threatening post by the pro-Israel organization Betar in January. In the post, the group wrote that he said, “Zionists don’t deserve to live” – a statement Khalil “unequivocally” denied making in his email to university officials. Betar also wrote that ICE “is aware of his home address and whereabouts” and that they “have provided all his information to multiple contacts.”
“He’s on our deport list!“ Betar added.
What’s left for other citizens, green card holders and people with visas and legal status if this is the end of due process is simply kiss the boot of the authoritarian or make a solid opposition to the regime.
Fuck them all.
