His wife is a US citizen and he has a green card by the way. This is how it starts, first they were deporting illegal immigrants with a criminal record, now its anyone pro-Palestine. How long until its anyone that voted Democrat?

This is not normal. He did not commit a crime. Everyone in these borders has first amendment rights specifically to prevent the government from just declaring some people non citizens and oppressing them.
Don't you understand?! 1st amendment only applies to things that align with the Trump party agenda.
That's what makes America the most free country of all.

Harris wouldn’t have done this, you know it.
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?
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.

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.

But all the protest voters assured us that not voting for Kamala would end the war in Gaza /s
that never happened
No centrist cares.
If they did, they wouldn't be a centrist
Secretary of State Marc Rubio also shared an article about Khalil on Sunday night and posted on X, "We will be revoking the visas and/or green cards of Hamas supporters in America so they can be deported."
Everyone regardless of immigration status has free speech rights in the US. Rubio is bragging about pissing and shitting on the Constitution. They cannot use immigration to suppress free speech, obviously. This guy needs to released by the courts immediately or American free speech is a complete farce.
Centrists suddenly dislike retaliation against anti-genocide protesters at Columbia.
Give it a few hours and both sides will be the same again
I’m a us citizen who has not been living in the US for years. I’m going back to visit my family this October and I’m honestly a bit scared.
It really depends on where. Southern states and cities are seeing more "enforcement". Some northern and more liberal states are fighting things. Outside of the cities I have not seen any ICE but I'm also not one of the targeted groups.
If you really are worried carry your passport.
I’m white, so totally not a targeted group. But it’s not just ice, it’s everything the US has become. Including the violence. Currently I live in a pretty peaceful place.
It's unacceptably bad but at the same time not an issue. I realize that sounds crazy but unless you join a protest or live in or frequent a targeted community then you would think nothing changed.
This is why we don't have mass protests yet because it's not actually breaking out of the media sphere for most of America.

Do not rely on your whiteness or port of entry to give you a false sense of security. Currently a German citizen apprehended in CA and a British citizen apprehended in WA are both being held indefinitely.

I would get your family out of America. People downplaying this are willfully ignorant. Maga pretending it's all hysterics are wrong, tankies pretending this is business as usual because "America bad" are wrong.
All the groundwork is laid to mass imprison and deport dissidents, the definition of dissident is widening, we are witnessing a complete lack of checks and if your last hope is violence from the populace or the military to fix this then I think Americans need to trust their gut and recognize this place isn't worth staying

Strictly speaking, everyone in the United States has the freedom of speech regardless of their being citizens or not.
With that being said, green cards and the like can be rescinded for a variety of reasons, particularly national security.
Add in the fact the Supreme Court has yet to firmly deny the right of Trump to do anything and the outright antisemitism at these protests, the picture of the future ain't good for this guy.
It is not anti-Semitic to protest Israel commiting genocide with the US's help.
I also don't think it's reasonable to hold all of the protestors accountable for some of the protestors actions (assuming some actually are anti-semetic)
Perhaps not, but intimidating Jewish students and pledging loyalty to Hamas is.
intimidating Jewish students and pledging loyalty to Hamas is.
What loony tunes world are you living in? Most baseless hasbara I've ever heard. Lemme guess the ICC is hamas too? Oxfam, amnesty are hamas? I could go on and on and on

They arrested him without a warrent for speech they didn't like and disappeared him with no legal formality at all.
