This is not surprising but really worrying. I really hope he gets due process of the law. But I think this admin already has given themselves ways to defer that.
What did Trump say about bringing free speech back? Oh right, when Trump claims to be doing a thing, he is almost always doing the opposite of that thing.
It appears that if you use the concept of rhetorical irony to posit a logical contradiction eg you have right to free speech in America but if you exercise that right to free speech in America it can get you arrested - needs explaining to people.
I know what irony is. It’s tough to tell these days with how many maga morons roam about and say things like this in full belief of what they are saying.
I literally had this conversation with someone yesterday, I was saying a green card is no guarantee in this administration. Here we are. The words, horrifying and ridiculous and lawless just don’t seem adequate

This is extremely disturbing. It reminds me of what happened to dissenters in Latin American dictatorships. Are we there already? If we allow this to happen, all is possible.
Biden was leading the government the same way. Lots of Democrats were coming for these students and were for criminalizing pro-Palestinian demonstrators.
In fact, now that Trump is president, the media is much more critical of state support for Israel.
he’s a palestinian-american student protesting the genocide of his people and a fascist government has arrested him to deport him for it, fuck all the way off with this garbage
For what? He and other students had a political opinion. They used protest to express that opinion. The First Amendment protects that activity. The immigration system should not be used to punish free speech the govt doesn't like.
I'm glad he has a lawyer. From what I recall when I interned years ago, no one in DHS or the State Dept (nor the President) has the power to "revoke" a green card. To the extent there is a basis to do so, the holder is entitled to notice and a hearing. The detention is likely illegal, too.
It's important to understand that holding a green card is basically US citizenship without the right to vote. They have to pay taxes and are subject to conscription into the armed forces in the event the US reinstitutes the draft.
The DoJ is where the rubber meets the road in regards to holding people accountable to the law. The Democrats' whole thing is equality before the law and they failed to hold Trump accountable for his crimes, because of Merrick Garland. So why believe anything else Democrats say?
Like, the choices are the absolute corruption of the Trump administration or... what? The reason trump is corrupt is because no one is holding him accountable. But Merrick Garland wasn't doing that, either, so, what's really the point? Trump is only walking in the gaping loopholes Garland left out.
If by 'No one' you mean voters/ non voters who voted him/Stein/ sitting home, the GOP House and GOP Senate that was elected by those same voters, you're right!
"with one agent presenting what he claimed was a warrant on his cell phone."
I know this is DHS and not ICE, but I remember video reels on YouTube warning about EXACTLY this kind of trick. The warrant needs to be present and signed by a judge.
Your comment is inappropriate. Stop perpetuating antisemitism with your garbage tropes. Overlords?? Really?? Go get educated on history before commenting.
Let me ask you, have you personally gone through a genocide, or war? I'm sick of people like you making excuses for human scum. Zionists are evil. Point Blank, don't like it, move to Israel.
No it's not. The comment is factual. When Pro-Isreali groups have infiltrated and spent millions, if not billions throughout history influencing US Politics. Miriam Aldeson alone donated Hundreds of Millions to Donald J Trump in return for him to carry out specific policies that would benefit Zios.
Your ignorance and antisemitism is even more clear in your reply. As if Miriam Adelson represents the views of all Jewish people. By your reasoning, anyone Jewish who donates to a candidate means all of us are anti-Palestinian. Take a logic class if you don’t see the fallacy in your statement.
Not all zionists are Jews
Not all incidents of colloquially used terms like "overlords" are being deployed as Jewish tropes
It's commonly applied to other groups
If you don't think foreign $, including from Israel/supporters, influences politics, you are in denial
No one said she represents all jews
You're the upset one that's literally putting words into my mouth, and you're calling me anti-semtic 🤔 where did I mention anything about this being a global Jewish point? I'm specifically speaking of people like Miriam ADELSON, someone that has money and influence.
Zionism does not equal antisemitism. https://www.annefrank.org/en/topics/antisemitism/all-criticism-israel-antisemitic/
However I do not agree with this comment:
"Although the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians has claimed many victims on both sides, it cannot be compared to systemic extermination."
Today the line has been crossed.
What a load of absolute TOSH! 🙄
Criticising Zionists, or the preferential treatment of Zionism is NOT "antisemitism". Declaiming simple criticism as 'antisemitism' devalues the basis of actions against true antisemitism.
He should be afforded his right to a hearing in front of an immigration judge. This reeks of corruption in the DHS regardless of one’s position on the conflict. Yet I have little hope this administration will follow the law.
Every day brings cruelty and incompetence from this administration. DHS has never been useful and now they are after a student, no doubt because he might have brown skin?
Wrong they directly targeted Harris and Biden and now that Trump has plans to turn Gaza into a sandels resort? Crickets Nothing.. no demonstrations, no ripping posters down.. taking over buildings.. only when the dems are in power.
This whole movement was a bust and an epic self own
They "targeted" Biden and Harris because Dems at least feign progressive values and were the most likely to move towards helping Palestinians (now we know better).
You're not keeping up with things if you think the pro Palestinian activism had died off, it's just not part of the news cycle anymore.
Can someone explain to me the process for canceling a green card? Like doesn’t he need to go through immigration court? He can’t have a removal order already.
Wasn’t this the same people that said there were no differences between Trump and Harris? Genocide Joe they said. They did everything possible to defeat Harris because they wanted to punish the Dems for living in the real world. I’d love to say I sorry for this poor SOB. BUT I am empathy out. FAFO.
Because the American election is a binary choice. You want to punish the Democrats by electing Trump? Congrats. Now when Bibi raze Gaza for Trump to build condos do not complain. You don’t have the moral standing for that now.
Biden and Harris did that to themselves. They saw they had a choice between punishing Israel for committing genocide or losing to Trump and they decided they prefer the latter
we wanted them to pick the former but you lot screamed at us and called us nazis. you probably shouldn’t have done that!
And now you have Trump. You and your gangs of misfits really punished the Democrats. And know Trump gave a blank check to Netanyahu to clear up Gaza. Have to give to you kid, you really taught a lesson. So how is the whole thing working out? 😝
This guy is a Palestinian student, he couldn't have likely voted. His people were being slaughtered while Biden enabled Israel every step of the way. "Genocide Joe" indeed!
"living in the real world" Fuck you. YOU are more likely why we lost than he.
😝. I spent 10 years with medics sans frontieres. Eight of them in the Gaza Strip. Providing free medical care. During that time there were two attempts on my life. While you play revolutionary people like me live in the real world where we understand the consequences of our actions. So, fuck you.
Like hell you did. It'd be more embarrassing that you came away from it just to be a racist piece of shit now.
You idiots always make assumptions that you have no clue on where you're even getting off on. You don't understand the consequences of your actions that's why you are still as you are.
Yeah, that must taste like bile to you. Big keyboard warrior like yourself. And then you wonder why folks like you never accomplish anything. Grow up kid. With a bot of luck you will get the common sense you evidently lack now. Time to mute you.
you’re “out of empathy” for a palestinian-american student who is being punished for protesting the genocide of his people because on top of demanding his school divest, he also demanded democrats stop funding and supporting the genocide. listen to how fucked up that is. be a better person.
And what is that to me? Hamas is sending Israelis and Americans back in boxes. That doesn’t seem to bother you. It bothers me what both Israelis and Palestinians are doing to each other. But the solution was not to elect Trump. And that is where you people lose me. ZERO sympathy. ZERO.
Genocide Joe could have stopped the killing at any time but he chose not to. Why aren't you mad at Biden for choosing to do a genocide? Why are you mad at people who were desperately trying to stop the genocide?
And stop sending American tax dollars to terrorist states like Israel. Gifting golden pagers to a White House who give nazi salutes and a felon who pardon hundreds of Jan 6 criminals? No thank you!
If you commit a felony only and go to prison once paroled immigration will pick you up and you go in front of immigration judge and they decide your faith NOT uneducated “ice cream”😃
He is a legal resident. That entitles him to every right as a citizen, with the exception of voting. Regardless of what he's being accused of. Leading a protest is NOT a crime. Did he break windows or assault anyone? Not only free speech is attacked.. so is the 6th amendment
Mehdi, DHS cannot "revoke" a greencard at will. He is a PERMANENT RESIDENT. If they can strip him of that status without any court proceedings, what stops them from going around deporting US CITIZENS?
I know that’s rhetorical but seriously what stops them from deporting US citizens? They are already “deporting” people to countries they are not even from. It seems here they are targeting someone for engaging in constitutionally-protected speech, and the reasons aren’t even pretextual.

I hate this timeline.
I believe the also plan to start mass denaturalizations.
And the hateful, ignorant people will applaud that too!

But in the current firehose of news it rarely is mentioned.

Don't make up stuff to implicate Biden because you sound stupid.
Why?
You can make up a magic scenario where Merrick Garland is responsible, but you aren't convincing anyone with intelligence.

The DoJ is now under Donald Trump, with his appointments and his mandates to free the Capitol Rioters and persecute people he doesn't like.
If you have a problem, I suggest you send him a strongly worded letter or 5 million dollars.
I know this is DHS and not ICE, but I remember video reels on YouTube warning about EXACTLY this kind of trick. The warrant needs to be present and signed by a judge.

They think politics is a football game, no matter what their side does they will still follow it like genocidal sheep.
That's have no souls just like the other team have no souls.
Anything other than outright condemnation of this makes you a fascist.

, I take bad anytime.
"Global Pacification Industry"
Either way why do a few dead Americans and Israelis get way more attention from people like you than the 100,000 dead Palestinians?
This teacher has nothing to do with Hamas, and yet you just ignored it and reached for the whatabout.
Just ghoulish shit, man.
