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.

I don’t understand why he was involved in the Columbia protests. He got the opportunity of a lifetime to come to the US.

What does “espousing terroristic activity” mean? What law? Stop making stuff up. Last time I checked, the First Amendment was actually the law. I’m Jewish and don’t agree with what this person said or did, but I am appalled by this arrest and the notion that lawful residents are being deported for exercising free speech.

He was not deported but sent to Louisiana.

I agree with all of this. But they can’t revoke his green card without due process. That is the current issue. They need to follow proper channels.

And they will, the State Dept. is who can initiate that, it seems they will go that route. Meanwhile they can lawfully hold him for any charges they found. No sympathy for a foreign national who chose to wage war against his host nation. Yes, it is waging war when you are a foreign national who disagree with government position of another foreign nation. US Citizens can protest because it is our government, and we elected our government, therefore we have the right to protest those policies. This person clearly has no business protesting US foreign policy and he can go back to where he came from.

Lawfully, without any indication that he is violent or a danger, no they can't. SMH

Doubt it. Obviously ICE didn't know that he had a green card rather than visa. And Trump doesn't care.

However, our immigration system doesn't operate at the whim of the president. This man will have his rights properly protected, just like anyone else. No matter what the president, or the ADL, tweets.
