Check out Vladek’s explanation though. This is immigration judge. No other option. The habeas petition and constitutional arguments are for federal district court, still pending in NJ.

Imagine thinking that someone being in the country is dangerous only because of their ideas, and your solution being to deport them, a citizen, and make their ideas national news.

It seems like these judges are sticking with trumps orders. They all need to be prosecuted. Trump and anyone who is following trumps orders.

They only care about free speech when it’s speech they agree with or supports their agenda. The Constitution is quickly becoming just another piece of paper in the history books.

Look back to Charlottesville where white men marched in the streets carrying tiki torches, chanting "blood and soil, Jews will not replace us." Trump called them very fine people. THIS is not about antisemitism, or anything protestors are saying or doing. It's a Muslim ban. Period.

He is free to protest in his home country. This has nothing to do with freedom of speech. People acting like government revoked someone's citizenship for saying stuff.

mizsaftigj.bsky.social•2 days ago

The right of free speech as guaranteed by the First Amendment applies to any and all who are present on this land as well as the Fourth, Fifth, Fourteenth Amendments. Try reading it for yourself --> https://constitution.congress.gov Oh, also look at Art1.S8.C18.8

darkgraysky.bsky.social•2 days ago

Let me give you a very clear analogy. I'm hosting a dinner party at my house. You ask if you can be invited, because you heard I throw amazing parties. I invite you. You come to my house. You eat. Then you start saying the food is horrible. I have the right to tell you to leave.

expatrj.bsky.social•2 days ago

Stupid analogy. This is the correct analogy: You invite somebody to your house for dinner. He says that your wife’s food is worse than his wife’s. You call the police, he is arrested. A judge says that he has to sell his house and move to a different neighborhood — BECAUSE HE DIDN’T LIKE YOUR FOOD!

darkgraysky.bsky.social•2 days ago

You ask him to leave your house. You call the police to escort him out. There is no arrest, as no crime has been committed. You simply are using the police to escort him out. You have every right to ask him to leave your house, for pretty much any reason. It's that simple.

expatrj.bsky.social•2 days ago

NO!!!!! This man is a Green Card holder. Let’s use a better analogy: Two valid members of a country club — one Anglo and one Latino — get into an argument over golf scores. The Latino is kicked out of the club instead of the Anglo because the country club is run by racist scumbags.

mizsaftigj.bsky.social•21 hours ago

So instead of enriching your knowledge by actually reading the Constitution, your ego drove you to make up an inane analogy to try to prove your unknowlegeable take on free speech. Be a better citizen.

I do not agree with the way these protests took control of our college campuses … but no way in hell would I ever support deporting anyone involved with exercise our first amendment rights

solarpunk-auntie.bsky.social•1 day ago

Did you have any personal experience with the campus protests? I ask because the coverage of them seemed quite distorted to me. We had a protest on our campus, and it went the way they always do -- protests are a part of the experience.

solarpunk-auntie.bsky.social•1 day ago

I mean, I remember doing sit-ins at that very same campus to protest the Iraq War. We were just as "obstructive."

resistoligarchy.bsky.social•1 day ago

I have worked on a state university campus since 2002, so, yes.

solarpunk-auntie.bsky.social•1 day ago

So, did you find the protest to be a lot bigger and more disruptive than other protests that have occurred on your campus? What was it that made this feel different (or did it)?

resistoligarchy.bsky.social•1 day ago

Classes were unable to be held, students have the right to protest but do not have the right to disrupt other student’s ability to pursue their education for which they pay tuition.

solarpunk-auntie.bsky.social•1 day ago

Why couldn't they hold classes? I ask out of curiosity, not skepticism. Were students occupying the buildings?

He wasn’t just “speaking”.

and he led protests that caused destruction of private property.

That there are 9 ICE detention centres in Louisiana (8 private for profit) is sickening and is yet another example of gross human rights violations perpetuated on disappeared people. To witness americans willingly wipe their boots on their own constitution signals the end of the US as we knew it.

Not a single crime.

Even the state conveyed in their extrajudicial indictment #MahmoudKhalil hadn’t broken a laws. No evidence of Khalil being a threat to anyone, never mind a “national security threat.”
