Trump govt is deporting Green Card holder student exercising free speech

First they came for the aid workers, and no one really cared.

Then they came for the federal workers, and no one really cared.

Then they came for the universities, and no one really cared.

Then they came for the journalists, and no one really cared.

Then they came for the lawyers, and no one really cared.

Then they came for green card holders, and no one really cared.

Do people see where this ends?

Where is this process defined?

If it is defined by the State Department, by some interpretations, the POTUS may have the authority to decide how to implement the process.

Dur process comes from the constitution. The president cannot overrule it.

The process for qualifying or revoking green cards is defined in the Constitution?

Like it or not, immigration status largely falls under the Executive branch.

While Trump's actions might be viewed as arbitrary and capricious, i'm not sure he doesn't have the authority to revoke a student visa--or at least direct the Secretary of State to do so.

If you can lose your visa for flunking a couple of semesters, your presence here is obviously conditional.

Frankly, I'm not sure I feel that bad for the guy and I despise Trump.

He is not here on a student visa. He has a green card.

The state department can not just decide to revoke a green card. There is a procedure that has to be followed; only an immigration judge can revoke the green card.

This is a violation of his rights.

If the administration can do this do green card holders for pro-Palestinian speech, then what is stop them for doing this with pro-trans rights activists or any other issue that they don't like?

Every one of us should be outraged.

I think immigration judges work for the DOJ. They aren't real judges.

I thought no one was above the law? Let this play out in the courts.

I think he is going to need a federal judge to intervene. And by "federal judge," I mean a real judge who falls under the Judicial branch, not an immigration judge.

These are dictator moves. That's why decent President's don't touch this. Not the big orange though

Has Trump not broke this covenant? Do the rules still apply?

I think Trump fully expects this to be blocked by a federal judge and is just trying to score political points.

It is clear why he is being deported. Hamas is a terrorist organization.

Over the course of Thursday and Friday, several prominent pro-Israel groups and individuals published a series of tweets targeting Khalil, mentioning his presence at the sit-in on Wednesday and his history as a lead negotiator with Columbia in April 2024, and demanded that the Trump administration act strongly against him by revoking his visa and deporting him. They tagged President Donald Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and US Attorney General Pam Bondi.

Shai Davidai, a professor at Columbia Business School, who was suspended from entering Columbia’s Morningside campus in 2024 following allegations of misconduct against students and staff of the university, tweeted, “Illegally taking over a college in which you are not even enrolled and distributing terrorist propaganda should be a deportable offense, no? Because that’s what Mahmoud Khalil from @ColumbiaSJP did yesterday at @BarnardCollege”.

“Documenting Jew Hatred on Campus at Columbia U”—an account on X with more than 20,000 followers—tweeted, “Secretary Rubio (@SecRubio), please revoke Mahmoud Khalil's visa!” On March 6, Rubio had tweeted that “those who support designated terrorist organizations, including Hamas, threaten our national security” and that such “violators of U.S law—including international students—face visa denial or revocation, and deportation.”

Anyone who supports this disgustingly servile act, taken against an individual for criticizing a foreign nation (a nation whose actions in question have been resoundingly denounced by the governments representing over 94% of the world’s population, mind you) is a direct threat to the constitution of the United States of America. Full stop.

Criticizing Israel’s policies and actions does nothing to meet those elements.

It’s sad (but mostly pathetic) that anyone needs to point that out.

Like it or not, the Congress passed laws that codify how Green Card holders can have their Green Cards revoked, and in zero circumstances, is it legal to take someone without a warrant from their home and locate them in an out of state facility.

Again, expressing anger over genocide is not the same as fomenting terrorism.

Half of these maga who seem to be so pro Jewish and anti Hamas are the same ones who brush away all the Nazi salutes recently and rant anti-semitism tirades about George Soros etc.

I don't care about Jewish people. They just hate Muslims more
