Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Summary

ICE agents arrested Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil, a leader in Columbia University's encampment movement, claiming his student visa was revoked.

However, his attorney Amy Greer states he has a green card, not a student visa.

Despite filing a habeas corpus petition, Greer can't locate where Khalil is being held, noting his eight-months-pregnant wife couldn't find him at a New Jersey facility.

The arrest follows Trump's March 4 social media threat to defund universities allowing "illegal protests" and deport "agitators."

Strictly speaking, everyone in the United States has the freedom of speech regardless of their being citizens or not.

With that being said, green cards and the like can be rescinded for a variety of reasons, particularly national security.

Add in the fact the Supreme Court has yet to firmly deny the right of Trump to do anything and the outright antisemitism at these protests, the picture of the future ain't good for this guy.

It is not anti-Semitic to protest Israel commiting genocide with the US's help.

I also don't think it's reasonable to hold all of the protestors accountable for some of the protestors actions (assuming some actually are anti-semetic)

Perhaps not, but intimidating Jewish students and pledging loyalty to Hamas is.

Read the whole article proves nothing of what you said. Not one shred of evidence. Just that Zionists are propagating falsehoods. You know theres countless articles of Jews being literally attacked or unfairly jailed you seem to miss out https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2025/03/06/mrob-m06.html

Please enlighten me how Jews feel threatened again with perceived thoughts of fear, versus actual fears?

How about Israel literally being the number 1 supporter around the globe of anti Semitic movements?

You're unbelievably stupid, brainwashed or evil. Considering it's 16 months into a genocide I'm guessing either of the last two
