Exiling people beyond the protection of US law without due process is not only unconstitutional, it's a rejection of the entire American revolutionary project. Sending people "beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences" is one of the grievances enumerated in the Declaration of Independence.

The claim that the U.S. can’t get him back is 1) false and 2) obviously a pretext for their deliberate attempt to ignore the Due process clauses of the 5th and 14th Amendments. It’s the sort of transparent deception this SCOTUS majority would see through if it came from a Democratic president.

Seen people wondering why so many major institutions are prostrating themselves before Trump and maybe this is obvious but it's because the incentives for cowardice are immediate and obvious while the disincentives aren't. All they lose is their dignity and you can't pay the bills with that anyway

This is happening in spite of the fact that the president is not in charge of the Smithsonian. It's not an executive branch government agency, rather it's chartered by Congress and under a board of regents created by statute, none of whom are even appointed by the president.

An Australian man with a US work visa was detained upon reentry, called a “retard” and told, “Trump is back in town; we’re doing things the way we should have always been doing them.” He was held with 100 people including many Canadians. Posters celebrating equity had DEI scribbled out in marker.

BREAKING: An immigration court determined our client Mahmoud Khalil to be removable from the U.S. based solely on his political speech. The fight isn't over — we'll keep fighting for Mahmoud's freedom and all of our First Amendment rights in federal court.

Per his attorneys, Mahmoud Khalil asked to address the court at his immigration hearing today, where a judge gave the green light to the Trump admin to deport him. “This is exactly why the Trump administration has sent me to this court, 1,000 miles away from my family.”

Before folks overreact to headlines about the judge’s ruling in the Khalil case, please note that (1) it was an immigration judge (IJ), not a federal district court; and (2) the IJ had no power to consider Khalil’s constitutional objections. This particular decision was a fait accompli.

The statement by the team of Columbia University graduate and legal green card holder Mahmoud Khalil is heartbreaking. Anyone who cares about freedom of speech should be against the Louisiana judge ruling to deport him.

If I were Judge Xinis, I would order the government to produce, in her courtroom, officials who were in a position to answer her questions and to do so under oath. Letting DOJ continue to prevaricate and deflect responsibility in written submissions seems ... insufficient at this point.

Not for nothing, but how, exactly, is it legal to send people for punishment in a foreign prison (esp with no due process)? Were the funds being used for it appropriated for this purpose? I feel this has just become a thing no one questions
