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.

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.

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.

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).

This is the act of a dictator. I know you like it.

Keep your nose clean. Even the closest of the SS were under suspicion by Hitler for the stupidest reason.

This guy was dumb for not even waiting till he gets his long term green card to do this. Many people get their conditional green cards not approved for less. They are going to let his conditional green card expire and then deport him.

I guess the new generation of immigrants didn’t get the memo.

Agreed.
Not sure where the chain letter fell apart - back then, everyone knew that criticism of one (and only one) foreign nation would be treated as a national security violation justifying deprivation of one’s rights under color of law.

Maybe Trump will pardon him, since even vandalism of government property is no longer grounds for prosecution and there are good people on both sides of this Israeli / Palestinian dispute, right?

Yes, lots of pro-Israel rampages through college campuses, accompanied by anti-Palestinian rhetoric and threats.

You'd think someone like that would seek refuge in a more welcoming environment, rather than trying to twist the environment to suit himself and his politics. I imagine his messaging would be welcome in Iran, and in Yemen, so it's not like he has nowhere to go, pregnant wife in tow.

You can go on and one because you like this but it's still not legal in this country.

People ate not going to like this even if you try to color it.

Lol. Most people are going to Don Draper this. As in, they aren't going to think about it at all.

Sorry Trump is doing a pretty good job of convincing the indifferent that it's not "business as usual."

LOL. You think Trump supporters GAF what happens to this guy?

No the 1/3 who are checked out.

maga? Who cares?

He has a conditional green card through marriage. He probably got it approved before Oct 7. Thing is, he has to file to lift conditions to make it a long term green card and under these conditions he is out of luck. Even if he goes through immigration court I don’t see a permanent green card approved for him. He can go protest in Syria.

There was no warrant to pick him up in the first place. they moved him from NJ to Lousiana (ie 5th circuit court) without cause.
