This one is really weird. Cause of the lack of transparency since he was taken in the early Tuesday morning **and** nobody knows where he is still apparently which is insane. He’s not listed on any “pro-Israel” watchdogs (Canary has like seven students listed who attend Alabama University). His lawyer called him a “studious nerd” who hasn’t attended any protests and this is confirmed by his university’s SJP chapter (who is quick to embrace any pro-Palestinian activist detained) who [said they don’t know him.]( https://www.instagram.com/p/DHuES1KSn2H/?utm_source=ig_embed&ig_rid=28336ce1-7d1e-4965-860c-9c8407699ce2). People found his fiancée (another Iranian on a visa)’s social media and the only political stuff on it is **support** for the protests against the anti-Israel Iranian dictatorship and yet they’re claiming he’s “posing national security concerns”.
I suppose it’s possible he tricked people close to him and did nefarious stuff behind everyone’s back. But I think it’s more likely cause he’s from the “wrong” country (Trump’s bigoted travel ban blocked Iranians the most from coming to America) and that he went 90 miles per hour in a 60 miles per hour zone almost a couple of years ago though he paid the fine.
Would be nice to see some evidence to find out what’s going on here instead of these vague statements.

I mean, Trump going after people for the flimsiest excuses or no excuse at all was always the endgame. What surprised me is how early the first big case of it happening.
