Hate speech, fomenting and participating civil disorder here, and supporting terrorism abroad, should have no sanctuary behind First Amendment protections within U.S. borders. Those protections are not unlimited, as this Hamas supporter is finding out.

Is this sarcasm? Or do you really mean that hate speech should be criminalized?

In this country, it is not.

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.

If what you have said is true, then the chances are is that he will be deported. For those of you that think deporting him is harsh, when you apply to come to the US, you are asked questions about terrorism etc. I bet he never put on his application that he supported Hamas or any other terrorist organization. If he had, he wouldn't have been allowed into the US in the first place.

Criticizing Israel’s policies and actions does nothing to meet those elements.

It’s sad (but mostly pathetic) that anyone needs to point that out.

And, all in support of Hamas......

Where is this process defined?

If it is defined by the State Department, by some interpretations, the POTUS may have the authority to decide how to implement the process.

Dur process comes from the constitution. The president cannot overrule it.

The process for qualifying or revoking green cards is defined in the Constitution?

Like it or not, immigration status largely falls under the Executive branch.

These are dictator moves. That's why decent President's don't touch this. Not the big orange though

I think Trump fully expects this to be blocked by a federal judge and is just trying to score political points.

While Trump's actions might be viewed as arbitrary and capricious, i'm not sure he doesn't have the authority to revoke a student visa--or at least direct the Secretary of State to do so.

If you can lose your visa for flunking a couple of semesters, your presence here is obviously conditional.

Frankly, I'm not sure I feel that bad for the guy and I despise Trump.

Well done by the Trump administration, perfectly justified

The whole point of Free Speech is those consequences can’t come from the government.

Just admit that you hate the First Amendment.

Assaulting people is not free speech, but you know that.

Anonymous wrote:Apparently there was an online campaign to get this guy deported. But nobody did their homework and knew he had a green card and not a visa. Or maybe they did and didn't care. From Dropsite news:

Over the course of Thursday and Friday, several prominent pro-Israel groups and individuals published a series of tweets targeting Khalil, mentioning his presence at the sit-in on Wednesday and his history as a lead negotiator with Columbia in April 2024, and demanded that the Trump administration act strongly against him by revoking his visa and deporting him. They tagged President Donald Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and US Attorney General Pam Bondi.

Shai Davidai, a professor at Columbia Business School, who was suspended from entering Columbia’s Morningside campus in 2024 following allegations of misconduct against students and staff of the university, tweeted, “Illegally taking over a college in which you are not even enrolled and distributing terrorist propaganda should be a deportable offense, no? Because that’s what Mahmoud Khalil from @ColumbiaSJP did yesterday at @BarnardCollege”.

“Documenting Jew Hatred on Campus at Columbia U”—an account on X with more than 20,000 followers—tweeted, “Secretary Rubio (@SecRubio), please revoke Mahmoud Khalil's visa!” On March 6, Rubio had tweeted that “those who support designated terrorist organizations, including Hamas, threaten our national security” and that such “violators of U.S law—including international students—face visa denial or revocation, and deportation.”
