ICE arrests Palestinian activist who helped lead Columbia University protests, his lawyer says

Nothing selective about it...It's the law under 8 USC 1227. And, Oh YOU think so....Well then put in a call to reverse the Universe...Rumpy no nuts thinks so.... :rolleyes:
Yes, it's the timeless appeal to capital letters and schoolyard taunts--surely the pillars of legal reasoning. But beneath the bluster, you’re missing something crucial: the fact that INA 237(a)(4)(C) is not the magic wand you think it is. Immigration law is riddled with discretionary power, but courts have not simply rubber-stamped every government attempt to deport someone for political reasons. A statutory citation is not a judicial ruling, and until a court weighs in, your confident proclamations are little more than hopeful guesses masquerading as certainty.
You willing to take that argument all the way to the Supreme court? The law is clear...And I even highlighted the pertinent parts for you, I am surprised you aren't rethinking that approach....
The law is “clear”? Clear to whom? The government, which selectively enforces it based on political expedience? Or the courts, which have repeatedly shown a willingness to constrain executive overreach when constitutional rights are at stake? What’s clear is that deporting someone for engaging in protected speech raises fundamental First Amendment issues, and the Supreme Court has historically been unfriendly to efforts that target speech under the guise of national security. Bridges v. Wixon, Rosenberger v. Rector--these cases exist for a reason, and your highlighter pen doesn’t make them disappear.
Well, I gotta give it to ya. You're thinking this one through. Too bad there is little a defense lawyer or a judge can do about it...The Secretary of State believes this man is a National Security threat...And I think you'll be surprised how fast this man will be on a Plane...
I see, now it's the old "because the government says so" argument--quaint, but not compelling. A determination by the Secretary of State is not self-executing. It is an assertion, not a verdict. Courts exist precisely to test such assertions, especially when they encroach on fundamental rights. A “national security threat” isn’t some vague, unchallengeable status bestowed by fiat; it has to withstand scrutiny. And in case you missed it, recent Supreme Court trends have not favored sweeping deference to executive power--especially when constitutional rights are implicated.
It's not me. I'm just a truck driver buddy....But, I do understand when the law is that clear, and know enough to know that when a person here is deemed a National Security threat...That person is either locked deep in Super Max, or deported immediately. That's just a fact.
That’s just a fiction. If your version of the law held up so seamlessly, there wouldn’t be decades of case law (such as Bridges v. Wixon, Kleindienst v. Mandel, Boumediene v. Bush) debating the limits of national security claims. Not everyone labeled a "threat" ends up in Supermax or on a plane, because legal processes exist, and they don't operate at the speed of your assumptions. Courts have ruled against the government on national security claims before, and they’ll do it again when the facts and constitutional principles demand it.
I don't believe you should be a confident as you are that any of that will pass muster in keeping, or delaying the obvious in the law. If i were a betting man, I'd say he'll be outta here in the next week, if not sooner.
Betting men lose money when they rely on wishful thinking instead of legal precedent. There’s a reason high-profile deportation cases don’t unfold overnight: they’re not “obvious.” They’re legally contentious. You can predict all you like, but the courts don’t operate on your schedule, nor do they take kindly to government actions that appear motivated more by politics than legitimate security concerns. If you think this is a slam dunk, you haven’t been paying attention to how these cases actually play out. And, of course, despite our respective arguments, my bet is I'm closer to the truth than you are on this, but, of course, we must end it with 'we shall see'.
 
Yes they can be. A green card or visa is a privilege not a right
A green card may be a privilege to obtain, but once granted, it confers legal status--and with that status come constitutional protections that a visa holder or undocumented person lacks. The law doesn’t treat a lawful permanent resident as a mere guest; it recognizes their stake in the system.
 
I’m defending first amendment rights which are absolutely under attack by you and this administration.

The rights of people walking across campus is not in dispute. The right of people to criticize the Israeli government is.
wrong----the rights of PEOPLE being assaulted and
victimized by vile acts of vandalism in (but not limited
to) the streets of New York City are being addressed.

No the constitution protects visas holder and undocumented aliens as well.
 
Right a small piece of digging...

The accusation of being a terrorist supporter looks like it could come from either Shai Davidai and pro-Israel organization Betar.

"Davidai, who had been suspended from campus last year over allegations he had harassed university staff, denied collaborating with the Trump administration to get Khalil deported. “Let me be absolutely clear: I have never had a direct line to the administration. Even if I did, I would never use such influence to target an individual. This is not who I am or what I stand for,” Davidai told Zeteo. “Like many, I’ve called out Khalil’s repeated legal violations and demanded accountability. But as I always remind my students, just because one event follows another doesn’t mean it caused it.”

In online posts, Davidai had called Khalil a “terrorist supporter” and suggested he should be deported, tagging Secretary of State Marco Rubio."

What "looks" of violence has Betar promoted? "TheInterpet" is by Blumenthal linked to Iranian propaganda... if Betar were to be listed as a supposed terror organization. Than things would have been different.

some 3,800 terrorists from the Hamas terror group’s elite Nukhba forces who led the invasion, followed by 2,200 “terrorists and looters from Gaza.” Around 1,000 other terrorists participated in the attack from within the Gaza Strip, firing some 4,300 rockets and assisting the forces that crossed into Israeli territory...

June 2024:
Israel Has Killed 17,000 Terrorists in Gaza Since Start of War, IDF Says.


More than half of those killed in Gaza are Hamas terrorists.
The Gaza ministry of health has not directly counted 31,000 dead. Their own documentation says that they directly counted some 17,000 in their hospitals, and (as of March 4) over 13,000 from "trusted media sources."



Hamas' women are just as guilty!

And Hamas "health" Ministry numbers are not to be trusted.


First, even the UN itself, which initially accepted the false Hamas data, had to publish a clarification 1 that the number of women and children among those killed in Gaza was not "a majority", but about a third.


Secondly, a statistical study by an expert from the University of Pennsylvania published in the magazine 'Tablet' 2 found that the claim about the majority of women and children among the dead cannot be true and it appears that the ratio between a dead gunman and a dead gunman is in the region of 1:1, and this was by no means the only study that cast great doubt the reliability of the Palestinian reports on the number of women and children among the dead.


Thirdly, the American research institute "Washington Institute" 3, also stated that the information published by the Hamas authorities should not be trusted - it lacks credibility, and seems to be deliberately distorted to create an image of an indiscriminate massacre of the civilian population, in the study Under the title: "Gaza casualty figures have become completely unreliable."


Fourth, another and interesting analysis of the casualty data in Gaza was carried out by the data analyst Mark Zlochin and published in the British 'Telegraph' 4. This study examined the data provided by the UN about 150 UNRWA workers who were killed in the war


The most striking figure is that 62% of the UNRWA workers who were killed are men. This is despite the fact that men make up only 41% of all the agency's workers in Gaza. In fact, the chance of a man working for UNRWA being killed by the IDF is more than double the chance of a woman. It seems that indeed many UNRWA workers fought in the ranks of Hamas (and thus had a higher chance of being killed). In addition, this is further proof that the figures of the Hamas Ministry of Health (according to which women have a similar chance of being killed by the IDF) are not reliable.


In addition, Zlochin found that there is an almost perfect match between the data of the UN workers (the women) who were killed and the hospital casualty records, which allows him to estimate for himself how many Gazans have been killed since the outbreak of the war: about 18,000 (compared to Hamas's claim of 32,000 dead).


And there was also the AP news agency, which determined that the number of women and children among the dead dropped below 40%. 5


Fifth: Oh and the "10,000" missing?

Not one person found under the rubble in Gaza for four months - there are still exactly 10,000 missing (if you believe Hamas, which the UN does).
One of the many bogus statistics we've been following from Gaza is the number of missing people buried under rubble.

As we've noted, between November and May, Hamas regularly reported - and the UN regularly repeated - 7,000 missing people under the rubble in Gaza. Then, sddenly, on May 3, that number jumped to 10,000 people missing.

Does anyone have the names of these missing people? Do we know what methodology was used to estimate their numbers?

Of course not. Because Hamas made them all up. And that's good enough for the UN.

Right now, the number of supposedly missing people has remained steady at exactly 10,000 for four months. The UN keeps publishing that number, crediting the Gaza Government Media Office, which is Hamas.

So not one person has been discovered under the rubble since May? Or maybe some have been discovered, but are equaled out with the number newly buried?

The number is fiction, like all of Hamas numbers. But NGOs and the UN need to publish the highest, most absurd numbers because that gives the sense of urgency that they demand for their anti-Israel political purposes.

Not one person found under the rubble in Gaza for four months - there are still exactly 10,000 missing (if you believe Hamas, which the UN does)

LOWEST CIVILIAN CASUALTIES RATIO

Famed British Colonel:

"My experience of monitoring the IDF actions, is that Israel is taking absolutely unprecedented and extremely effective measures to minimize civilian deaths. Despite what many people proclaim, who know nothing about it, [is that] Israel has achieved what I estimate to be the lowest proportion of civilian to military casualties in any conflict in modern times.”

Do Women and Children Really Make Up 70% of the Gaza Death Toll?
HonestReporting Staff.
November 18, 2024.

The claim that 70% of Gaza’s casualties are women and children just doesn’t add up. Why? This figure only reflects a sample of about 8,000 reported deaths, which leaves out a lot of context. Never mind that in the overall toll, Hamas doesn’t include its own combatants, and inconsistencies in counting methods, like open-source Google forms, mean these numbers may be very misleading. For real understanding, the media needs to ask harder questions.

Yes, when you're committing a crime, like endangering the lives of people in a theater. Protesting the government or just saying whatever dumb opinion you may have is protected speech, which the government can't arrest and prosecute you for. Opinions are not prosecutable or arrestable. These are not considered crimes in America.
And yet…..you Dems wanted to send Trump to prison for merely saying “peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.”

So which is it? It’s only free speech when it exacerbates an already extreme level of antisemitism and harassment against Jews ?

Dems are very tolerant when it comes to inciting hate against Jews. Everything else - complete intolerance.

I have shown that the accusation of this guy supporting terrorism so far came from a very biased source who themselves have promoted violence.

You are wanting to deport a permanent resident from US because he has in a peaceful manner objected to Isreal killing over 30,000 women and children.
Can I remind you, free hostages have said that what the IDF is doing id wrong.

You are saying that saying anything against Isreal policies (of which include members of government who want ethnic genocide) is reason to deport...
You are saying that object to genocide is against US foreign policy.
Guess What, the world is watching.
 
Palestinians do not exist!
That is just bad a statement as someone shout Antisemitic slogans.

The majority of the people in Palestine and the world believe both cultures should be respected and need to co exist.

Your statement is as horrific as someone saying Jews shouldn't exist.

ACTIVIST"
 
What say you?
A Department of Homeland Security spokesperson said his arrest was in coordination with ICE and the State Department in support of Trump's "executive orders prohibiting anti-Semitism" and because Khalil "led activities aligned to Hamas, a designated terrorist organization." Trump and his administration did not provide evidence of the allegations against Khalil.

The State Department said Tuesday that Khalil was arrested under a section of the Immigration and Nationality Act that allows noncitizens to be deported if the secretary of state determines their "presence or activities in the United States would have potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences for the United States," a spokesperson said.


I understand how this Kafkaesque nightmare excites you. But do you really want to go down this arbitrary, authoritarian rabbit hole? How about the next Dem Sec. of State makes up some reason to deport Enrique Tarrio? Or you. Are you good with that?
