Where will he be detained at? He can not be send back to his origin country and other countries don’t take people just like that. Will he be detained permanently at Guantanamo?

El Salvador presumably. It will probably turn out he is a member of that Salvadorian gang.

I earnestly hope enough Americans read and learn from history. The biggest pattern to glean in my opinion is that often when the majority populace realizes some action needs to be taken, it is too late. There is no way around preemptive action (and for clarity, I'm not talking about violence, since that would violate rules here, I mean things like general strikes, forming a new political party, aggressive political a…

As a US citizen my only hope is the rest of the world saves us

Frankly, I think the speed at which Trump is going might doom him, and thus save people like you.

I just don't think his pace of destruction is sustainable. He will soon, unavoidably, be faced with an angry mob. Not angry about freedom of speech or rule of law, probably, but inflation, recession and (lack of) leadership in crisis. He is brewing a cocktail of enormous discontent at a breakneck pace, and doesn't show the leadership or even interest to deal with it, never mind any external shock.

Communism in Poland fell, ultimately, over the price of meat.

> allegedly 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 and his org distributed Hamas written materials. He is on film calling for the destruction of Israel and "the end of Western civilization".

I'm sorry he didn't care for the West, it seems appropriate we should send him home. If he hasn't finished his degree at age 30, we are probably doing his wallet a favor.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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.

He goes in front of an Immigration judge, not a local judge. His Habeas hearing will be based near his detainment location.

They support the only entity left to fight for their own country against textbook colonialists? Shocked.

You can't call for murdering people - or you get sent home.

If burning babies alive and gangraping corpses is your "resistance" then maybe you should let the "colonialists" win.

Could you specify what actions they are doing that would be classified as criminal 20+ years ago?

Mind you that students also occupied academic buildings, sometimes forcefully, during Vietnam war protests.

And during the apartheid protests and both gulf war protests.

> would be classified as a criminal if they did what they're doing today... 20+ yrs ago

American that was alive and adulting in the 90s checking in: no, they wouldn't have. Even after 2001.
