Would you feel the same way if German white supremacists were protesting outside of black churches?

Didn’t think so.


I'm pretty sure one's thoughts about Netanyahu aren't anywhere on the citizenship application.

Is that what you Republicans are using to decide who's a good American? I think even most Israelis would fail your test.

You keep dodging the question. C’mon—grow a pair and answer the question:

Does the US government have the right to deport foreigners for speech/protest activities?

"And I am saying it, clear and loud," he said. "To President Trump and his Cabinet, I'm not afraid of you."

Pam Bondi’s a lawyer. Matt Gaetz is a lawyer. It’s not the flex you think it is.

All I can say is Thank God that Trump was elected and the leftists are no longer allowing terrorists and criminals to pour into the country.


Itamar Ben-Gvir and Netanyahu visited not too long ago. Please google the International Criminal Court. Thx

It’s always funny to encounter nitwits who are oblivious to the lengthy history of geopolitical corruption here in the U.S. and who LITERALLY believe that entities and individuals designated as terrorists by the U.S. (or rather, by individuals in our government who unabashedly serve the interests of a foreign state) are ordained by god above … but the ICC findings and designations are beneath contempt.

Ah, but it does mean that I understand the difference between release on bond and adjudication on the merits.

You?

Are you similarly enthusiastic about President AOC deporting Green Card holders for hypothetical opinions?

This is why Republicans are garbage these days. There is no respect for law and precedent. It's all identity politics with Republicans.

Over Chosen People edicts in flagrant violation of U.S. law being dunked on by a member if the judiciary!


“Chosen People”? Ugly stuff.

Foreigner comes to US, founds terrorist-supporting organization (CUAD) that calls for “instruction” from “militants in the Global South”.

Foreigner gets detained pending deportation.

Foreigner receives due process and is released on bond pending adjudication on the merits.

Nothing particularly surprising here.


The pending claims are these:

1) Assume jurisdiction over this matter;
2) Vacate and set aside Respondents’ unlawful Policy of targeting noncitizens for
removal based on First Amendment protected speech advocating for Palestinian
rights;
3) Vacate and set aside the Rubio Determination;
4) Enjoin Respondents from transferring the Petitioner from the jurisdiction of this
District pending these proceedings;
5) Order the immediate release of Petitioner pending these proceedings;
6) Order the release of Petitioner;
7) Declare that Respondents’ actions to arrest and detain Petitioner violate the First
Amendment and the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment, as well as the
Administrative Procedure Act and the non-delegation doctrine;
8) Award reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs for this action; and
9) Grant such further relief as the Court deems just and proper.

There's nothing in the complaint mentioning a deportation order, and nothing in the order releasing him. He is required to live in Vermont, can travel to NY for classes, and has to attend hearings. But the pending litigation is all about the govt's bill of rights violations. He is the plaintiff here.
