Has survived the government's motion to dismiss related to the 1st amendment (5th amendment claims are dismissed). This relates directly to the actions taken against foreign students and academics who have voiced pro-Palestine opinions. Contrary to what a lot of people seem to think, there are 1st amendment rights for non-citizens. Hard to grasp, I know.

Yes they have a right to voice their opinions. And as democrats loved spouting since 2016, using your right to free speech doesn’t absolve you of the consequences of that action. The government will not imprison anyone over speech, but it can have a noncitizen’s visa revoked.

No foreign national has an absolute right to be present in the US. [/quote]

This is correct.  [b]If your exercise of Free Speech violates one of the conditions of your visa or permanent residency status, those can be revoked.[/b][/quote]

Where does it say in visa or permanent status regulations that exercising free speech is a basis on which to revoke that status? Please link to that language. Thank you.[/quote]

The Immigration and Nationality Act allows the denial or revocation of a visa of ‘any alien who . . . endorses or espouses terrorist activity or persuades others to endorse or espouse terrorist activity or support a terrorist organization."[/quote]

So, in your mind, protest of any kind = "terrorism"? Because the Turkish PhD student who is still being held in captivity in a Louisiana jail 1+ months after being abducted off the street, did not commit terrorism. She co-authored an op-ed--along with three other individuals--which did not contain any anti-semitic language but instead was focused on human rights. If an op-ed is enough to get anyone, including a visitor to this country, imprisoned then, Houston, we have a problem. [/quote]

Yes, "of any kind", as long as it includes all foreign jihadist and sympathizers that should be sufficient.[/quote]
