NEWS: Last night, the Department of Homeland Security detained a Palestinian who helped lead the Columbia encampment.
Agents told him his visa was revoked. He said he had a green card. They were confused—then said that was revoked too.
His attorney demanded a warrant. Agents hung up instead.

They are stomping on the Constitution.
Worst case scenario: Why didn't they just notify him his documents would be revoked X number of months & give him time to leave the country?
It's called due process🙄.
And “notified plus given time to leave” still isn’t the process he’s actually due. LPRs get to fight such charges in immigration court. Which as you say didn’t need to involve detention or relocation.
This administration is lawless, inhumane & cruel.
1) How do they know that? Where are the charges?
2) Last I heard, we're NOT AT WAR with Hamas anyway. (I'm not saying they're a good organization or good people; just that there's no formal conflict.)
So they abducted him for political speech.
I think I agree with your overarching point: this is an attack on political speech dressed up as if he did something removable, which I believe he didn’t.
That said, he just objectively doesn’t fall under any of those laws, ofc — he was just protesting for BDS, and never had any reason or desire or means to support Hamas.
Dangerous!!!😡
essentially he’s been declared an illegal alien.
Due process doesn’t apply when you’ve not been charged with a crime and there’s no warrant. Habeas corpus? sure. But in the meanwhile he’s detained until “whatever”.
I tried to look up Khalil in the system and couldn’t get a hit when I tried putting in “Israel”
I’m too old to march , but I may have to take a chair and sign and sit somewhere strategic. I’m rural , but I can drive.

HE IS MARRIED TO AN AMERICAN CITIZEN!!!
HIS WIFE IS PREGNANT!!
WHY MOVE HIM TO LOUISIANA!??!!
CRUELTY AGAINST ONE OF US IS THE FIRST STEP OF CRUELTY TO ALL OF US!!
IF WE ALLOW IT TO HAPPEN!!!!
If they do not like a law, this 🇺🇸administration has to go through the process of changing the law. Until that time, the current law holds.
trump & Co continue to violate laws.
I absolutely don't want us to repeat that.
I'd say the US is dying but its spirit died on Nov. 5th when they voted for this chaos because of the price of eggs.
Win stupid prizes.
It clearly mentions that the SoS needs to have "reasonable ground" that the person would have serious adverse FP consequences - which is totally inapplicable here, no matter how big an Israel fanboy Rubio may be.
Khalil has *already* received a green card, that Rubio claims he rescinded - which is a different matter.
But what a fvcking time to be alive
When you are their target - they're not going to stop & clearly they're fine with breaking the law.
His being in Louisiana says they shopped for a judge.
Now they’re coming for people with green cards and soon citizens.
Christian Nationalism = Jesus Nazis

Doesn’t it get expensive to move all of these people around with security and custody issues?
We can NOT let this band of Gestapo thugs run roughshod over our rights.
Fuck ICE. Fuck this entire ghoulish administration.
