A Columbia University graduate student and greencard holder faces deportation simply for organizing a protest against Israel's Gaza campaign. ICE is aggressively moving to revoke his permanent residency based solely on his peaceful protest. Even more disturbing, Trump has threatened to strip citizenship from others. This outrageous assault on fundamental rights should terrify anyone who values free speech in America!

I think he's disgusting for his support of Hamas animals, but I don't think Trump's approach is sound. He should have been arrested for a specific crime if he'd committed one. This seems underhanded and murky, which is never good when politics and law are concerned.

He can pray to God. If he's a target then there is a reason. Every time I was arrested I was innocent, too. πŸ˜‚ No sympathy. He's pissed off someone. I've been anti-government for a very long time and I have always spoke my mind. I've even served in the military. So what. He will be charged and have to go to court. If someone wanted him dead he'd be dead. If he's right then the process will prevail in truth. He's not innocent. They don't randomly choose people. He has stepped on the wrong toes. So be it. Don't feel sorry for him. If he's innocent then he'll be fine. If not, then he made a mistake moving here. I have no sympathy.
I'm for factual description of what actually happens. Conflating freedom of speech with freedom to extort/blackmail is the exact mind virus that plagues the masses you're pretending to be distancing yourself from. I'm pro property rights & anti Communist tendencies which was what was put on display in Columbia University & led by the guy in question in this thread.
I don't believe someone with a Palestinian flag virtue signal in his handle to have an objective view of what's happening with this case. Rabble is also aligned with the leftist view 100% of the time - is what it is when you've premade your mind on each topic through that lens. & Btw I wouldn't deport this guy, but I'm not going to pretend he's innocent and some martyr bc he's not & that's just the truth.
It is just you. You can read about this story online. No blackmail, no extortion or whatever you’re making up. Meanwhile the rest of us will be continuing to oppose the genocide. At least we can agree that people shouldn’t come to a place as guests and then proceed to steal land or bomb universities or hospitals or bulldoze homes or destroy the entire country and then make demands for everyone who lives there to leave.
Further, i don't know what the war has to do with this topic or my original point. No one is talking about the war here, as this man chose to move to the USA with full knowledge that the USA is a supporter of Israel as its the only place in the middle east where people can coexist regardless of faith. Hence the 2M Palestinians living with Israeli passports in Israel.
If it were up to me I wouldn't deport him. I wouldn't want him to be the rallying cry for the leftists & I wouldn't want to make him famous. But to be honest, if you're gonna be a green card holder you should be smarter if you actually didn't want this to be a potential outcome. This makes me think that he wanted this to happen because he seems like a smart fellow. He didn't simply protest though, His wife's words: "When things started at Columbia, his main role was the lead negotiator [between student protesters and Columbia administrators.]"
It's fucking disgusting. I'm embarrassed that they would go this far to protect the Israeli lobby. What the fuck is happening here and does it mean the tide has to go to the other extreme before pulling back? We saw what happened with Wokeness, this is now Wokeness from the Right
Under U.S. immigration law, a green card can be revoked if the holder is found to have engaged in activities that threaten national security, support terrorism, or violate the terms of their residency. Similarly, a student visa can be canceled for criminal behavior or overstaying its purpose. The government’s case likely hinges on Section 212(a)(3) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, which bars individuals who have engaged in terrorist activities or are affiliated with terrorist organizations, broadly defined to include ideological support or incitement.
