    Was that the one who said Zionists should be dead or something like that? Or was that another activist from Columbia U?

  2. This is terrible and a violation of his rights, but you shouldn’t protest when you’re in a country on a visa.

    not dystopian at all. I may diagree on his level of rhetoric, even though im sympathetic to parts of his message, but protesting is the way Americans are supposed to show authority how they feel. To my knowledge he wasnt arrested for anything violent so this is really troubling.

  4. Classic ace detective work by ICE not realizing he had a green card.

    That being said, openly supporting a declared terrorist organization probs not the best idea when they can revoke your status for that.

    The Trump admin is going to roll back the tape on all those protests/encampments and identify students who were in them. Any student who is not a US citizen identified in the video will be targeted for visa revocation and deportations now even if the participant was being non violent and did not engage in anti-semitism. The Trump campaign posted this on their website last year that this was what they were going to do once Trump got elected.

    I bet they might even go after US Citizens who became citizens through naturalization and not via birth.

    We can disagree, but this man was a total idiot. He’s a non citizen who defends terrorists. However I cannot defend the infringement of his rights, even though I believe all of his views are wrong.

    “It would ultimately be up to an immigration judge to revoke someone’s permanent resident status, according to Camille Mackler, founder of Immigrant ARC, a coalition of legal service providers in New York.”

    Which means it is ultimately up to the Trump administration entirely because immigration judges are administrative, not judicial, in nature. Unitary Executive means Trump himself is the judge.

    You should be allowed to protest wars of extermination. Unpopular opinion I guess.

  9. He was part of a group that has called for violence against Jews and school employees. I’m certainly not going to shed any tears for any of their members who get deported.
