Summary
A federal judge blocked the removal of Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil from the U.S. after his arrest by ICE.
Khalil, a Columbia University graduate who helped organize pro-Palestinian protests, was arrested Saturday by ICE agents who claimed his visa was revoked for supporting Hamas.
The Trump administration continues to claim he violated an executive order prohibiting anti-Semitism, though no evidence was provided. Protesters in NYC demand his release, calling the arrest unconstitutional.
His location remains unclear. The ACLU and immigrant rights groups argue the detention violates free speech, warning it sets a dangerous precedent.
They aren’t going to deport him, they ate going to put him in Guantanamo as I believe he does not have the same legal protections there.
I think?
That’s what been claimed, but it’s been tyrannical unconstitutional bullshit since 2001.
Well Isreal did… Ironic
It’s less about legal protections and more about logistical. It’s pretty damn hard for lawyers and the press to visit someone in gitmo.
He would not have those rights but Im not sure how they decide who goes there. This man’s wife and newborn are in the USA.
There are no objective criteria any more. They want him gone, he goes. By the time the court rules it’s illegal, he’ll already be in Guantanamo.
We need to start arming ourselves and its past time to start putting bullets in ICE agents that come to remove citizens from their homes. How much are we going take? Does he literally need to start gasing the people he has locked up before we get off our ass and fight?
Or are we going go the route that Germany did in 1942?
