Again, the Secretary of State has no authority to “revoke” green cards.

UPDATE — Secretary of State Marco Rubio has now commented on the Trump admin’s detaining & attempted green card revocation of a Columbia Gaza encampment student negotiator:
“We will be revoking the visas and/or green cards of Hamas supporters in America so they can be deported.”
“We will be revoking the visas and/or green cards of Hamas supporters in America so they can be deported.”

This is Rubio simply repeating 45's instructions.
45 doesn't have the authority either, but he has the power. Unchecked power because no institution or branch of govt. can *make* him do otherwise.
Extra judicial.
Generally stripping LPR status requires a removal hearing.
Shocker.
Or are they just people who look like they might support HAMAS?
So, it'd surely be Bondi or Noem's job but they are impossibly incompetent. And then you have Marco trying to gain turk against Musk. And on the other hand you have Bessent and Lutnick trying to sell an economic turds-andwich. And Trump golfs while JDV picks fights with randos.
The U.S. is now lawless, and this lawlessness will soon trickle down to the state, local, and street levels.
How discretion does the state department have?
Can they revoke visas for any arbitrary reason whatsoever or are there restrictions?
#ImpeachThemAll
A government is like an organism composed of millions of cells and many organs
One organ doesn’t necessarily fall in line with the malfunctions of another
Plus dictatorships always try to secure the appearance of propriety, so law continues to matter
Not speaking truth to inform the public. Ringing an occasional bell v sounding alarms for all hands. Sideways complaining w/partial compliance v conveying catastrophic outcomes&mass oppo
COUPS ADVANCE
Just ask him.
And ask SCOTUS...before abolishes them.
It appears there are no consequences for breaking the law.
What then?
Add to that he seems to think there is a direct way to pick out the Hamas supporters
Or will he just go with anyone who supports the Palestinians

Floridians, join me!!!
Florida doesn’t have a recall mechanism for Senators, but since we’re ignoring the rules….
Let’s remove this fraud, waste and abuse. Let’s raise our collective voice and send a message!!!

Other than voting rights, virtually all civil rights are guaranteed for all PERSONS — whether citizens, resident aliens, or even illegal aliens.
Because the Constitution says so!
Blockades, tire slashing, gas siphoning...
Nobody supports hamas,dude

There WILL be a point where the MAGA Base finally loses enough & realizes they've been duped, but they'll never admit to that.
However, they MIGHT demand the GOP Congress save them from the Fool on the Hill.
"Global Pacification Industry"
So I desperate hope the plan is more than just “say they can’t do this”.
It’s called a dictatorship.
Trump IS the law now.
Better get used to it.
Watching from abroad is frightening. Fuck knows how scary being there.
I hope *EVERYONE* boycotts the World Cup and Olympics.
Is there any way to ensure the independence of DOJ immigration judges?
"national emergency". the clock is ticking....
At this point either Congress is going to have to realize this admin is going to go after them, too, or the military is going to have to say no.
Now, a visa, that they could have done easily.
The WH didn't just arrest a Palestinian green card holder; they appear to have 'disappeared' him
All that really matters to them: Boot beats paper.
You see if they disappear you and claim your green card has been stripped, if we lack the power to do anything about it, then that's exactly what they did.
There is a process to challenge the legal basis for detention, but that’s not an option for most people as the law does generally permit detention in nearly all cases.

What about people who support terrorist Trump, who tried to overturn democracy in your own country?
Crawl back into your snail shell, Marco.
Come on midterms….

There is nothing about the law that will be followed.
Fuck all this good and hard.
Can they do _____? Is a useless question
They’re going to do what they want
They MIGHT go so far as another EO to be challenged in court after court until it reaches SCOTUS to interpret what the law is now
We cannot count on what WE think the law is anymore
That’s what time it is

We're not cancelling their visas.

But they’ve already demonstrated that they don’t care about laws.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out, Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
Eventually no one can pass the purity test if a fascist regime.
It's not correct because Niemöller didn't consider disabled and trabs people at all.
It's not correct because the translation should be COMMUNISTS, not socialists.
And most people sharing don't understand the context of it enough to even use it correctly.
This entire administration is nothing more than a criminal enterprise!
Apparently, according to trump musk, non-citizens have no first amendment rights....this is a slippery slope...next it'll be the naturalized citizens and then black citizens and so on....
Saving the people who stand to suffer is more important than fighting for a system that is capsizing.
The system is collapsing period.
The people are most important.
Every wrench thrown in their gears helps. This included.
So very 2024.
