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Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil, a leader in Columbia University’s encampment movement, claiming his student visa was revoked.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 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?

            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.

            Answering a question with a question is pretty shitty.

            They made a statement. You responded with leading questions that implied the statement is factually incorrect. The premise of your questions was also incorrect - the previous administration opposed the protests, but they did not send federal agents after protesters for arrests or deportations. Unlike the current administration.

            Rather than answer (mis)leading questions, OP responded with questions to force you to explicitly answer whether their original statement is incorrect. Did Harris do this? Would Harris have done this? They’re fair questions. But I guess only you get to ask questions around here.

        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.

            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.

          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)

          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.
