Maybe it "felt like a kidnapping" because it was a kidnapping.

They had no legal authority to arrest him. They have no legal grounds for deporting him. It was a gross violation of his constitutional rights. And what are you supposed to do about it? What do you do when the Nazis come for you?

Also, more of the typical ACAB bullshit telling him to stop resisting while he's being calm and not resisting. Need to get that out there in case they decide to shoot him. "It's coming right for us!"

These are brown shirts. They are not law enforcement.

Has there ever been a difference?

Why do the secret police get to have their faces blurred? Aren’t these “public servants”? This is like the opposite of a body camera, Jesus fucking Christ.

Im pretty lost on this one. Whats the beef here? I saw the video and don’t understand why he is being arrested. He seems like a calm dude that is just being bothered

There is no beef, legally speaking at least. Khalil is a legal US resident with a green card who was illegally arrested for taking part in pro-palestinian protests on Columbia campus when he was a student in 2024.

He was illegally arrested and now illegally detained as a result of the Trump administration's push against immigration. It is also retaliatory action against pro-palestinian protestors at large. Or even just the campuses where the protests happened. This also occurred after Columbia University had federal funding cut because of theses protests.

This move was also a retaliatory action by the Trump administration: despite Columbia University acting harshly against protestors in 2024 when they took place.
