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Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil, a leader in Columbia University’s encampment movement, claiming his student visa was revoked.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.”
This is not normal. He did not commit a crime. Everyone in these borders has first amendment rights specifically to prevent the government from just declaring some people non citizens and oppressing them.
Secretary of State Marc Rubio also shared an article about Khalil on Sunday night and posted on X, “We will be revoking the visas and/or green cards of Hamas supporters in America so they can be deported.”
Everyone regardless of immigration status has free speech rights in the US. Rubio is bragging about pissing and shitting on the Constitution. They cannot use immigration to suppress free speech, obviously. This guy needs to released by the courts immediately or American free speech is a complete farce.
His wife is a US citizen and he has a green card by the way. This is how it starts, first they were deporting illegal immigrants with a criminal record, now its anyone pro-Palestine. How long until its anyone that voted Democrat?
They’re doing legal immigrants from Ukraine as well.
Harris wouldn’t have done this, you know it.
But all the protest voters assured us that not voting for Kamala would end the war in Gaza /s
Yes, but on the other hand, I’m pretty sure those complaining about Genocide Joe knew that and preferred this result.
I can complain about Genocide Joe and hold my nose and vote for him, tyvm lib.
I’m just aware that y’all aren’t ready to have either a completely functioning moral compass or intellectual integrity, much less fight Da Revolushun.
I was frustrated by but never dared complained about Genocide President. This 10xGenocide President was running too so I held my fucking tongue. Now, amongst like-minded friends, YES! Public internet, NO.
Was this logically flawed? Doesn’t sound great (but bad situation all around)

My friends are going to ram either an enormous dildo or a generously-sized buttplug up my rear on January 6. Both are made out of lead. Do I
EVER
mention the buttplug is lead?
“Oh gee glad this lead dildo’s up there - as long as I advocated against it, just like the lil-less-Hitler option!”
(Sorry tired & gah)
If you voted for Harris, then you’re not the person they’re talking about. But it’s easier to be smug than to properly read.
Projection
Harris of the Biden Harris administration that was arresting student protestors from the start?
Or Harris of the Biden Harris administration that deported more people than trump while dropping the number of new visas issued?
Were student protesters arrested by the Biden administration? I did not hear about this. Link?
Did they disappear or deport people with green cards?
Looks like yes, if you look for the stories. ICE is terrible no matter the administration.

On Dec. 17, 2019, my husband, Rodner, and I went to our local Immigration and Customs Enforcement office with our attorney for a routine check-in, a requirement of his pending green card. About an hour later, my lawyer emerged and told me Rodner was being deported.
Dude was deported when Trump was in office. But sure, blame Biden for it to show how committed you are to being uncommitted.
Answering a question with a question is pretty shitty.
I’m a us citizen who has not been living in the US for years. I’m going back to visit my family this October and I’m honestly a bit scared.
It really depends on where. Southern states and cities are seeing more “enforcement”. Some northern and more liberal states are fighting things. Outside of the cities I have not seen any ICE but I’m also not one of the targeted groups.
If you really are worried carry your passport.
I’m white, so totally not a targeted group. But it’s not just ice, it’s everything the US has become. Including the violence. Currently I live in a pretty peaceful place.
It’s unacceptably bad but at the same time not an issue. I realize that sounds crazy but unless you join a protest or live in or frequent a targeted community then you would think nothing changed.
This is why we don’t have mass protests yet because it’s not actually breaking out of the media sphere for most of America.
Thanks! I guess I’d be alright. I got a bit spooked recently, when my mom mentioned that there have been random shootings at the mall at the night. Not like mass shootings. But more like feuds between people.
That level of random violence does seem to be up but is still rare.
