[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When you are overtly advocating for violent terrorism, this is a risk. He was espousing terroristic activity. It’s literally a law. [/quote]

There is literally a legal process the United States has to go to to strip a green card holder of a green card, and this literally ain’t it.[/quote]

I’m actually pretty curious about the intersection of green card law and law regarding terroristic activity. I don’t think this is a flat-out free speech issue or a flat-out terroristic threats issue. [/quote]

You want to look up green card and first amendment rights IMO to get an outline of this. Terroristic  threats would be a criminal charge and I don't know anything about any specifics of his involvement in the protests. Protection is not as secure as for citizens, even naturalized citizens. This has an overview: https://www.freedomforum.org/non-citizens-protected-first-amendment/

The Reno decision (1996) is not encouraging, and it was a strong majority decision (only one dissent, from Souter) favoring the govt. I couldn't tell if the parties had green cards, but it also related to Palestine.

Thank you.

In general even if I find Khalil’s support of Hamas grotesque, I am an even stronger believer in the first amendment. I don’t think this is at all right (and I am generally in favor of schools kicking out the entitled brats that are disrupting education — but they aren’t the government).

I have not seen anything truly attributed to him that would reach the level of terroristic threat, and he has never been charged as such. Just a lot of admittedly gross fanboying about Hamas. But, we allow people to have gross speech here. [/quote]

This. As far as I can tell, he was expressing opposition to genocide in Gaza. I agree with him and I am Jewish.[/quote]
