Pledging allegience to Hamas would certainly count.
Transferring money to "Hamas Inc." via wire transfer would count. 
Saying "I think Hamas' actions are justified" seems like a grey area.

Saying I want a cease fire and think Israel is committing genocide doesn't necessarily equate to "supporting Hamas." Did Hamas even want a cease-fire? Certainly on their terms, but that applies to any belligerent. For all we know he  might hate Hamas and prefer the PLO or some other organization.

What evidence is there that the student "supported Hamas?" Merely asking for a ceasefire or asking Columbia to divest, would not seem to qualify as "supporting terrorism."[/quote]

How 'bout this (which I posted earlier)?

Khalil acted as a negotiator and sometimes spokesperson for CUAD (Columbia University Apartheid Divest).

CUAD explicitly and officially issued a statement supporting Hamas and 10/7. As quoted in the Times:

“We support liberation by any means necessary, including armed resistance,” the group, Columbia University Apartheid Divest, said in its statement revoking the apology.

The group marked the anniversary of the Oct. 7 attack on Israel by distributing a newspaper with a headline that used Hamas’s name for it: “One Year Since Al-Aqsa Flood, Revolution Until Victory,” it read, over a picture of Hamas fighters breaching the security fence to Israel. And the group posted an essay calling the attack a “moral, military and political victory” and quoting Ismail Haniyeh, the assassinated former political leader of Hamas.

“The Palestinian resistance is moving their struggle to a new phase of escalation and it is our duty to meet them there,” the group wrote on Oct. 7 on Telegram. “It is our duty to fight for our freedom!”

Exactly. This guy wasn’t just walking around with a cardboard sign reading “Cease Fire.”[/quote]
So, if a South African living in the US with a green card during the 80s supported Nelson Mandela and the ANC, should he have been deported back to South Africa?  Mandela and the ANC were considered terrorists until 2008.

DP. Let's make the hypothetical match the current situation:

How 'bout if our imaginary South African issued a statement supporting murdering white South African civilians en masse and calling for the destruction of western civilization (as CUAD has done)?

Deportable?[/quote]
Probably not if he's white.

Also, a lot of Irish Americans supported and even funded and provided arms to the IRA, a terrorist organization.  They weren't deported either. Why? Cause they are white people.[/quote]

You are comparing citizen rights to immigrant rights, which is not at all the same for good reason. And you are wrong.  Sinn Fein leaders have been denied visas to the US due to their IRA ties, and denied green cards.  It is our policy not to harbor violent extremists of any cause, and it’s a good one.

Green card immigrants for have rights and protection.
Uh oh, Trump goofed and now needs you apologists to smoke-and-mirrors for him
[/quote]

Can you try that again, in English this time?  We don't speak transliterated Arabic here.  [/quote]

Green-card-holding permanent-resident immigrants have rights and protection, you ignorant idiot racist. [/quote]
They are literally called "resident aliens".[/quote]
And they still have rights and legal protections.[/quote]

And need to obey our country's laws.[/quote]

What law did he break?  How precisely did he break it?[/quote]

Oh, c’mon, you don’t actually expect these liars fellating one another over this story to provide actual facts, right?

You’re dealing with pathological liars. They don’t operate on the basis of facts. It’s all propaganda and projection.[/quote]

Nice try, lol. He didn't have to break any law. Under a provision of the US Immigration and Nationality Act, a law passed in 1952, any immigrants may be deported if the secretary of state deems their presence in the country potentially adverse to American foreign policy. He broke the provisions of his Green Card status. He festered hatred toward a certain group under the guise of activism which is a hate crime.  Aligning with terrorist, and all he did met the requirements of deportation. In March he will go before an immigration judge for a deportation hearing. [/quote]
Newsflash: he hasn’t yet been charged with any crime![/quote]

Newsflash, he doesn't have to commit a crime under the guidelines of a Green Card for deportation.  Please educate yourself on that.[/quote]

+1 He was probably counting on Harris' election to keep him safe. [/quote]
