Trump govt is deporting Green Card holder student exercising free speech

[Anonymous]

When they detained him, they told him they were revoking his student visa. That’s how incompetent they are. They literally did not know that he had graduated school and now held a green card. It wasn’t until his lawyer told them and now they are scrambling because their “plan” fell apart.

Well done by the Trump administration, perfectly justified

The whole point of Free Speech is those consequences can’t come from the government.

Just admit that you hate the First Amendment.

Assaulting people is not free speech, but you know that.

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.”

Shame on these groups. When other countries begin getting a backbone and tire of the US, unfortunately the US will bring more hate to Jews and Israel around the world. They won’t be welcomed. And this bid a pity

Pretty bold action on his part for a non-citizen. Maybe this will work out for him and maybe it won’t, but he was pretty reckless. I can’t imagine behaving such a way in a country where I am but a guest.

What specifically did he say that was “overly advocating for violent terrorism?” Provide a direct quote.

Who did he assault? Provide a specific name, date and description of what he did.

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 has a green card, not a visa. It’s right there in the thread title.

Good riddance.

Hate speech, fomenting and participating civil disorder here, and supporting terrorism abroad, should have no sanctuary behind First Amendment protections within U.S. borders. Those protections are not unlimited, as this Hamas supporter is finding out.

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.

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

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

And scare people. Even when he loses, he’s made a serious negative impact on free speech.

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.

And, all in support of Hamas......

Deport Eyal Yakoby. Start an online campaign. It seems to get Trump to do as he will and against all laws, all one needs to donis get enough inline support.

Is this sarcasm? Or do you really mean that hate speech should be criminalized?

In this country, it is not.

Is there evidence that he supports Hamas?

Yes, we have free speech. But foreign citizens - even Green Card holders - advocating for violent religious extremists like Hamas becomes a national security concern. Hamas is well known for suicide bombings, blowing up buses and restaurants, torture, slavery, kidnappings and so on. Green Card holders seeking to increase the influence of Hamas in America - and college campuses in particular - is definitely pushing some legal boundaries.

If what you have said is true, then the chances are is that he will be deported. For those of you that think deporting him is harsh, when you apply to come to the US, you are asked questions about terrorism etc. I bet he never put on his application that he supported Hamas or any other terrorist organization. If he had, he wouldn't have been allowed into the US in the first place.

But did he support Hamas? Is he quoted anywhere saying anything other than protesting the war against the Palestinian civilians in Gaza? There are many people who protest for the Palestinian civilians who do NOT support Hamas. Calling protesters supporters of Hamas is a tactic used by the GOP/MAGA and the Israeli government to malign people who are exercising their right to protest bombing of innocent civilians.

If hate speech is grounds for deportation, Trump and all his MAGA followers need to go now.
