Spot on. Equating pro Palestine with Hamas is disingenuous and only seeks to punish individuals and institutions.

"Activites" being defined as "something said that butthurt Trump or his Nazi allies".

I was not aware that executive orders can terminate Constitutional provisions.

Well wouldn't activity aligned to Hamas cover much of the Israeli government over the past 20 years?

"Aligned with Hamas"? What does that mean?

According to the constitution, it should involve a well organised militia.

Immediate arrest. Gitmo w/o bail. Mal-a-Lardo close, search thoroughly, and sell.

Reminds me of that old chestnut "... with ties to al Queda"

Vaguer the better for their purposes.

Kinda like what's going to happen here to *anyone* who dares speak out against the Trump regime if it succeeds. Oh, wait... scratch "kinda" >:(

"Aligned" is such weasel shit!

“Self-described Antifa member” said William Barr in 2020 Enough said! Anything goes >>>

Your first instinct was true.

Trump and his cronies are a bigger national security threat than this guy.

Dylan: And if my thought-dreams could be seen / They’d probably put my head in a guillotine.

give the boot to yeezy, yo.

Good point-- I think the legal word for this is ex post facto, as in: > No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed. Article I, Section IX, US Constitution

He distributed fliers defending 7.10 while occupying a library; it's an open and shut case of Title VI if Columbia doesn't kick him out of campus (and of course Trump isn't bothering with the Title VI case and instead cutting grants). But is it material support? Not unless other evidence comes up.

Fuuuck! Fucking bloody hell. He wants to send all Palestinians back to Gaza to complete the genocide

No they’re just lying

I assume they think it sufficient to show “pro-Palestine”

Yes

OK, but I have yet to hear a Palestinian who doesn't believe "from the river, to the sea" (i.e., that Israel shouldn't exist), so it's difficult to see the difference.

if a protest leaders underlings are posting this flyer all over the Barnard building they took over, what do you think that indicates?

They are going to argue when and where? Have his lawyers filed habeas or any other lawsuit yet?

Usually material support is literally more substantial than expressing an opinion. Providing/designating money or raising money to a terror group for terror operations, providing "material" (phones, guns, tents etc). It's roughly analogous to the concept of providing assets to facilitate crime. 1/

"Rare" like measles deaths--thing we thought we wouldn't see again but now we fear is going to be everywhere.

Really excited that MAGA cult members get to decide whether or not someone is a "Hamas supporter"

A scare tactic to anyone who dissents with anything they decide. We are so inured to it, but think how over the years they have demonized an entire political party AND their voters.

No proof of any of it. Just stealing people out of their lives now, and who will care? They're just brown people.

This doesn't sync up because Republicans swing Nazi torches every day of the week but no one with any power goes "hey maybe we should stop those Nazis". It's kind of weird that democrats are threatened for stuff they didn't even do, mean while republicans can do it on stage and people protect them.

Hamas wants a free Palestine. I want a free Palestine. That’s enough alignment for ICE. Come get me.

When do we deport Elon Musk after all he came in under a student visa .. and basically went right to work : should be deported

I'm not sure you can set aside the fascist nature of this; the fascist nature means that the interpretation doesn't require evidence.

Did trump give an executive order to abolish the 1st amendment?

How's that "Undecided" Boohoo Joe Biden's at fault stance treating you guys now?

So your freedoms being a tax paying citizen matters less than being against Israel’s genocide so much so that your own country will arrest you for disrespecting another

otherwise known as a violation of the 1st amendment

See, the thing is, it would seem I’m as much a “Hamas supporter” as this man, and so are many people I know. And if these clowns can arbitrarily revoke a Green Card, they can arbitrarily revoke American citizenship. So ICE could conceivably disappear me as well. Or you. Or your parents or your kids

Is this code for "if you're Palestinian, you're out"?

The Trump position is that "activities aligned with Hamas is the same as disagreeing with Netanyahu. So deploring the slaughter of innocents in Gaza will be redefined as being pro-Hamas.

Well, a lot of people's "criticism of Israel" is just straight up racism and bigotry, so it's not impossible that he does support it. However, an idea is not a crime. It's evil and shitty, but it's not a crime and shouldn't be. So the actions they're taking against this student are unacceptable.

The truth might be irrelevant. Once protesters are arrested, they might just disappear.

📌

Good question.

Not a peep on my end in Michigan

People should be protesting this and getting him a go fund me to help with a good lawyer.

And we will be deporting fascists as soon as we regain power.

Since Oct 7, it seems it has been common rhetoric on the right to call anyone who supports Palestinians as pro-Hamas. If you criticize Israel, it is anti-semitic. Pro-Israel lobbies have been trying to codify this into law for years, well before Oct 7.

There will be. He has a whole team of lawyers.

The problem with this administration is it's full of untrustworthy liars. The problem with HAMAS is they are enemies of Palestinians more than they are enemies of Israel.

Khalil needs to have due process— no matter if he is a supporter or not. This must be brought to the courts

There’s nothing in the @apnews.com article about anything other than speech supportive of Hamas (social posts, campus protests, etc). Nothing about actual material support.

So much for rule of law.

Did he take part in the violent takeovers of buildings at Columbia and Barnard? That's enough for deportation as far as I'm concerned. Because those takeovers were violent. Or is the standard for Philip Bump that violence is okay if it is in support of destroying Israel and killing Jews?

Permanent residency is a right, the card is property. Can it be taken away without legal process? Should up to a court not a politician. Especially not up to the weirdos in DC

One of the early lines, where people still aren’t speaking up because the regime is coming for people they disagree with politically, and therefore they think the victims deserve to be targeted. The point of the poem is that by the end, the Nazis turn on each other.

No kidding! It is incredibly disturbing.

The first line

I’m a Jewish American. I’m a Zionist. Why would I want to revoke someone’s right to be here because of their words?

I'm beginning to think the standard is "Someone that somebody in the Trump administration doesn't like."

if you take the side of russia against ukraine like many of our elected officials-they should be exiled from this country-there is more evidence that trump himself is a terrorist-he praises china, russia, hungary, all authoritarianism-trump has violated his oath to america-remove him from office!

It is aweful that this happened. However, in the end, many protestors became anti Harris. This is just another form of F*** around and find out. Often, the devil you know is better than the devil you dont.

the standard is "not a white christian"

Seems like a clear First Amendment issue, but since this administration don’t much care about the Constitution, here we are.

No due process. No free speech. Just don't like what he says so off to the camps with him. Who's next? People who promote abortion or trans rights? Equal voting rights for Black people? Jews who criticize Israel? People who condemn Elon Musk? These are Gestapo tactics.

So he’s put his and his family’s safety at risk by calling him a ‘Hamas supporter’. If it’s not true he should sue.

Sincere question: where are all the protesters that were marching during the election? Shouldn’t they be marching on Washington & Mar A Lago instead of Columbia Uni? I’m seeing critiques of Dem voting for Rubio as Sec of State, but no protests at Rubuo’s office. Feels like I’m taking crazy pills.

Interesting before the Court. Perhaps a case of first impression. Trump wants to deport a visa holder to Palestine, while Trump is actively conspiring to remove all Palestinians from Palestine. So Trump can steal their land, "Gaza belongs to me"

I don't think it is illegal to support Hamas?

This is such a slippery slope. No matter your views, or faith, this is very wrong and scary. Tourists detained, migrants sent elsewhere out of sight, now a green card holder, whose spouse is a citizen and pregnant. How many more?

Another thing to tie in to the question of how does this sit within the 1st Amendment or has John Roberts and the other conservative judges reversed precedent on this?

the president led an assault on our Capitol and nothing happens. There are folks in our country supportive of the orange chucklefuk helping Russia kill Ukrainians. but a citizen that may or may not support Hamas gets citizenship revoked instantly? Because someone said so? 😡

Fox news doesn't understand there is a difference between Hamas and Palestine. Apparently this has bled into the whole admin

FAFO. This is who he is, from AP: "helping to organize an “unauthorized marching event” in which participants glorified Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, attack and playing a “substantial role” in the circulation of social media posts criticizing Zionism, among other acts of alleged discrimination."

For this to even be the pretense for DHS bringing a charge to revoke his green card, which he’d get notice of and have due process before a judge, it would have to be material support and not just vocal sympathy. Not saying hes even done that but the bar is so much higher than “support”

Yes. Sorry, but I only have it on Twitter… https://x.com/cu_jewishalumni/status/1898819027822338104?s=61 https://x.com/cujewsisraelis/status/1897382954403320170?s=61

This is so wrong!

Don’t even think this troll is American

They did, and media refused to report on it

We need a serious reflection on where our party focused, not an ideologically comforting excuse, or we will continue to lose to the MAGAs. Ignore it at your peril and cast aspersions but we are in trouble because of not being honest

I'm just reminding people of the dumbest protest vote in history.

You are right. He probably should be likened to some kind of insect but I don’t want to insult insects.

Once Medicaid is history , jfk jr says people will die every day of cancer , not a big thing , like measles

Always was

I don't you get a day in court if you've been disappeared. I saw that article first thing this morning, was chilled and sick to my stomach, and said that's enough "news" for today. Another country and generation asking, "How do you know when it's time to leave?"

They were kidnapping people off the streets of Portland last time he was in office.

How is this legal? Perhaps if one is sending money or materials to Hamas because it's on the US terrorist list. But advocating for Palestine isn't the same as assisting Hamas. More nazification every damned day!

That is scary as hell.

More specifically, critical of Bibi….

Boy howdy this is gonna make cabinet meetings awkward.

This fascism against Americans is linked explicitly to the reality that Trump wants genocide in Gaza for some blood-soaked dream of real estate fortune built on the graveyard. If you don't speak out for green card holders (and Gazans), it will be you being sent away (or murdered) very soon.

No evidence he is a Hamas supporter.

if they could, they'd send us all to camps. and eventually they'll figure out a way to justify doing that.

Who the f- cares if he did support Hamas? The strongest resistance Palestinians have? When your oppressors/abusers are relentless - what are you supposed to do? No one in the world is coming to Palestines aid to fight back against Isrhell.

This should be a warning to everyone even citizens of what this administration will do but we can’t back down

Kristi, you there? Or are between botox or hair extensions or facial plastic surgery? You have remade yourself into a maralago girl.

Yes, what does "Hamas supporter" mean this context.

As a man of cuban ancestry from florida, Marco Rubio should know better than to behave like Castro.
