Wow! that 1st amendment doesn't really work anymore. When I lived in the US on a green card (for 20 years) I was leary about political activity, there were never any obvious rules against it, and I was in this "taxation without representation" state so had to find outlets other than voting in order to have a say about how my taxes were spent (I'm from NZ where people with green card equivalents are very much allowed…

Where did he do this? Seems like a pretty serious allegation to make without a solid source.

He allegedly supports Hamas? Is that in the article somewhere? It seems to me people are simply making things up to justify what seems pretty unjustifiable.

“ Khalil is not a citizen, and as such his permanent residency is based upon continuously meeting the government's definition of possessing "good moral character"

“ That form asks: “Have you ever, or do you intend, to provide financial assistance or other support to terrorists or terrorist organizations?” As the Pittsburgh Jewish Chronicle reminds, less than a year after arriving at Columbia on a student visa, Khalil was leading American undergraduates in actions in support of Hamas after the October 7 massacres. Khalil was involved in illegal occupations of buildings, served as the negotiator on behalf of the occupying students with the university, pressuring the administration to accommodate student demands based on their illegal activity, and helped organize an illegal encampment on the campus that denied access to “Zionist” students. ”

It sounds plausible that Mahdawi is the second person on Khalil's case memo [1]. If that's the case, the claim is that "alien whose presence or activities in the United States the Secretary of State has reasonable ground to believe would have potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences for the United States" is deportable.

Listen, it's pretty easy for anybody to allege all sorts of things. What's marginally harder is to meet a burden of some kind of proof when there's due process.

It should take more than "allegedly" to toss people into this Kafkaesque meat grinder.

He will go in front of a judge who will make the final deportation order.

Will he? That’s not how it’s gone for others who have been kidnapped by ICE and deported recently.

> The attorneys said they do not know where he is and have filed a petition in federal court seeking an order barring the government from removing him from the state or country.
