“The targeting and possible deportation of Mahmoud Khalil is intended to silence dissent and scare officials at colleges and universities across the country. It is deeply un-American.”

Why? Because US politicians are scared of the Israeli lobby in Washington... Have been for decades.
Why?
Columbia disruptions were not peaceful nor civilized.
Their targets were terrified for their safety.
Not protesting for peace, protesting for the destruction of Israel Mocking the baby hostages, among other hatemongering.
Is it, tho? A sizable chunk of the country (rightwing) is OK with it and another sizable chunk (centrists/moderates) are doing their best to pretend none of this is happening and are, in fact, mad at people for complaining about it.
It's straight up McCarthyism.
