Trump warned Palestinians to not protest. Trump doesn't believe the 1st amendment applies to non-citizens. It does except in certain circumstances.

At that point, he became a criminal.
Too bad he did not conduct himself peacefully.
As if you're the miller's daughter and Trump is your Rumpelstiltskin.
Do you know who you fucking sound like when you juat toss aside someone's humanity?

What exactly do they mean by "illegally taking over" a university building?
Also, was his green card in fact revoked? Or was it DHS' perception, or a misstatement?

Unwarranted or not, I am trying to understand the facts.
Then police malfeasance like this gets escalated on @maddow.msnbc.com and they are forced to back down.
Viva Social media!
Remember these are the career agents not the political appointments. They're usually just evil, not incompetent (publicly).
The takeaway from this isn't that they're dumb. It's that it doesn't matter if the law is on your side. You're gonna get fucked up anyway.
(And if it did work like this, it's still important for people to know it really doesn't.)
Immigration lawyers have a vested interest in the difference.
This isn't just semantics; people conflate the illegal with the impossible all the time. Your boss couldn't have stolen your wages, it's illegal. Trump can't be a rapist; he'd be in prison.
There's a huge difference between "this is illegal and therefore they can't do it", which is probably wrong, and "this is illegal and therefore they *shouldn't* do it", which we must say at every opportunity.
