Washington (Quds News Network)- Only 14 Democratic lawmakers signed a letter urging the release of Mahmoud Khalil, an anti-genocide Palestinian activist and U.S. green card holder. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) detained him without charges for his activism at Columbia University.
“We are horrified by the illegal abduction and indefinite detention of Mahmoud Khalil,” the letter states. It demands his release from DHS custody.
The letter, addressed to DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, condemns the action. “Khalil has not been charged or convicted of any crime. As the Trump administration proudly admits, he was targeted solely for his activism,” it reads.
Representatives Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, Mark Pocan, Ayanna Pressley, Nydia M. Velázquez, Delia C. Ramirez, Jasmine rocket, Summer Lee, Lateefah Simon, Gwen S. Moore, Nikema Williams, Al Green, Andre Carson, and Jams McGovem signed the letter. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez did not sign, despite previously criticizing Khalil’s arrest.
If the holocaust happened today, this is exactly how we’d respond to it. People suck.
That’s exactly how most Germans did respond to it back then too.
Pretend it wasn’t happening. Pretend they didn’t know about it. Until they get slapped in the face with reality when the allies show up and force march them to dig the graves at the concentration camps.
