ICE arrests Palestinian activist with green card at Columbia University: Attorney
ICE agents arrested Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil -- a leader in Columbia University's encampment movement -- on Saturday night, said attorney Amy Greer.
Summary
ICE agents arrested Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil, a leader in Columbia University's encampment movement, claiming his student visa was revoked.
However, his attorney Amy Greer states he has a green card, not a student visa.
Despite filing a habeas corpus petition, Greer can't locate where Khalil is being held, noting his eight-months-pregnant wife couldn't find him at a New Jersey facility.
The arrest follows Trump's March 4 social media threat to defund universities allowing "illegal protests" and deport "agitators."

Harris wouldn’t have done this, you know it.
-
Yes, but on the other hand, I'm pretty sure those complaining about Genocide Joe knew that and preferred this result.
-
I can complain about Genocide Joe and hold my nose and vote for him, tyvm lib.
I'm just aware that y'all aren't ready to have either a completely functioning moral compass or intellectual integrity, much less fight Da Revolushun.

I was frustrated by but never dared complained about Genocide President. This 10xGenocide President was running too so I held my fucking tongue. Now, amongst like-minded friends, YES! Public internet, NO.
Was this logically flawed? Doesn’t sound great (but bad situation all around)
butts (“NSFW text”)
My friends are going to ram either an enormous dildo or a generously-sized buttplug up my rear on January 6. Both are made out of lead. Do I
EVER
mention the buttplug is lead?
“Oh gee glad this lead dildo’s up there - as long as I advocated against it, just like the lil-less-Hitler option!”
(Sorry tired & gah)

so what's your guess for a peace plan in gaza?
-
It's all fucked and will stay fucked because neither America or Israel had the balls or moral integrity to put their corrupt and traitorous executives in jail.
If Bibi had a soul he'd agree to this new plan backed by his neighbors but I'm not holding my breath.
-
so hamas have agreed? that's really great
-
Yes, dumbass. Try knowing things about the things you try to be snide about.
-
it's a ceasefire and an agreement to talk further so hardly an agreement to long term peace

If you voted for Harris, then you're not the person they're talking about. But it's easier to be smug than to properly read.

No. The center blames anyone who expressed even the slightest displeasure about their genocide for the loss they earned.

But all the protest voters assured us that not voting for Kamala would end the war in Gaza /s

Harris of the Biden Harris administration that was arresting student protestors from the start?
Or Harris of the Biden Harris administration that deported more people than trump while dropping the number of new visas issued?
-
Did they disappear or deport people with green cards?
-
Answering a question with a question is pretty shitty.

Looks like yes, if you look for the stories. ICE is terrible no matter the administration.

On Dec. 17, 2019, my husband, Rodner, and I went to our local Immigration and Customs Enforcement office with our attorney for a routine check-in, a requirement of his pending green card. About an hour later, my lawyer emerged and told me Rodner was being deported.
Dude was deported when Trump was in office. But sure, blame Biden for it to show how committed you are to being uncommitted.

Were student protesters arrested by the Biden administration? I did not hear about this. Link?

Biden did support the crackdowns and arrests of about 3000 pro Palestinian protesters, including a law to label the protests as antisemitic and target universities that 'tolerate' the (peaceful) protests. He didn't deport any protesters. He did back both that law and the law that can label any pro-palestinian (and any pro- marginalized group) organization as' supporters of terrorism' to revoke federal funding and add tax penalties, both of which fit into Project Esther, the plan Trump is currently enacting as part of Project 2025
Under pressure from donors and legislators, many universities cracked down on pro-Palestine activities on campuses. As many as 3,000 student protesters were arrested at the height of the protest movement in 2024.
That is a federal anti-discrimination law that bars discrimination based on shared ancestry, ethnic characteristics or national origin. Adding IHRA’s definition to the law would allow the federal Department of Education to restrict funding and other resources to campuses perceived as tolerating anti-Semitism.

The US House of Representatives on Thursday passed a bill that would grant the Treasury Department the power to revoke the tax-exempt status of any non-profit it deems to be a "terrorist supporting organisation", which could put many pro-Palestinian groups critical of Israel's war on Gaza in danger.
