This is what I was trying to get at it earlier. The Trump Administration is using the term "criminal record" in a semantically different way than it is traditionally used. Previously, if I heard "criminal record' -- I'm thinking jail time, maybe prison time. A felony or higher degree misdemeanor. /1

NEWS: It began with Mahmoud Khalil. Now the Trump admin is trying to deport *hundreds* of students by vaguely saying they have criminal records—making them guess why.
Some have traffic violations. Some didn't even commit a crime.
One's "criminal record"? Apparently being a domestic violence victim.
