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

[Marener]

I know....And I think you are out in left field on that one....But, you're not changing my mind on this, and it would appear that you are not going to change yours....So, what are we doing here?

You don’t have to change your mind.

But you are an authoritarian because of it.

Washington — President Trump warned Monday that this weekend's arrest of prominent Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil by federal immigration authorities is the first "of many to come" amid his administration's crackdown on students and alleged "agitators" protesting Israel's war with Hamas in Gaza. The same day, a federal judge blocked Khalil's deportation and scheduled a court hearing after Khalil's attorney filed a petition challenging the arrest.

The president wrote in a post on his social media platform Truth Social that his administration "will not tolerate" what he said is "pro-terrorist, anti-Semitic, anti-American" activity on college campuses across the country, and claimed the protests are being waged by "paid agitators" rather than students. As a student at Columbia University last spring, Khalil helped lead demonstrations protesting Israel and the war in Gaza.

"We will find, apprehend, and deport these terrorist sympathizers from our country — never to return again," Mr. Trump wrote. "If you support terrorism, including the slaughtering of innocent men, women, and children, your presence is contrary to our national and foreign policy interests, and you are not welcome here. We expect every one of America's Colleges and Universities to comply."

The president said the Saturday night arrest of Khalil is "the first arrest of many to come."

Now here is a man who has said "We are Westerners fighting for the total eradication of Western society." Let that sink in for a minute.

Trump is going to deport these enemies within, and I for one say good riddance. What say you?

We probably have thousands of Chinese nationalists working as spies for the CCP at all the major universities. Let's start deporting them too.

Great. We are going to point this out anytime you guys pretend to care about free speech.

You don’t care, unless we are talking about YOUR speech.

That’s all that counts.

 

[Rumpole]

Well, I guess it's a good thing that it is the SoS is the one declaring, then isn't it....

Here's where I think there is some misunderstanding. they could deport him, sure, though, without due process, it's a violation of his rights. If he's smart, he'll get an attorney to force due process. If he doesn't, they could deport him and once he's deported, he's at a disadvantage being in another country. Some folks might be glad if that happened, but as a fan of the constitution, I wouldn't be, I'm for due process, always, it's the cornerstone of a well-functioning democracy.

 

[Rawley]

You’re purposefully trying not to think about this.

You think the president has authority to deport any noncitizen at any time.

Is that right?

We all know you like to lie about, and troll people in here....What else is new?

Khalil doesn’t have a right to free speech. Isn’t that what you’re saying here?

 

[Rawley]

And the president has unilateral authority to declare someone a “national security threat”, correct?

Yup. Finally got one right. Kudos

 

[WEATHER53]

I’ve been making the point.

This is unconstitutional, anti-free speech authoritarianism.

Neither
We owe him zero constitutions obligations

I wasn't here at point #1, can you clue me in regarding your 20 repetitions of a single point, so what was the original point?

 

[Rawley]

Again, the president can declare anyone a threat to national security. Right?

Nope. Oh well, thought you might have started looking a the statute. Oh well.

 

[j-mac]

Khalil doesn’t have a right to free speech. Isn’t that what you’re saying here?

I think I've been pretty clear this entire thread....Why are you continuing?

 

[Marener]

Neither
We owe him zero constitutions obligations

That’s authoritarian.

 

[Tommy Tainant]

It is when it is used to intimidate other people, as it has been on multiple United States college campuses.

So terrorism can mean anything in the reich. That denigrates 9/11 doesnt it ?

 

[WEATHER53]

Free speech fine
Freak speech death to America(ns) ) Not

 

[Marener]

I think I've been pretty clear this entire thread....Why are you continuing?

Feel free to tap out anytime.

You’re saying Congress passed a law that limits the speech of immigrants. Right?

Khalil doesn’t have a right to free speech.

You support that. Right?

 

[Marener]

Free speech fine
Freak speech death to America(ns) ) Not

Saying Israel should stop bombing Gaza is a threat to our national security?

 

[Rumpole]

Yup. Finally got one right. Kudos

That's false. See #482 for why.

 

[WEATHER53]

That’s authoritarian.

He just does not qualify. Thats reality si go shill for criminals some more
