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With that being said, green cards and the like can be rescinded for a variety of reasons, particularly national security.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.
intimidating Jewish students and pledging loyalty to Hamas is.
What loony tunes world are you living in? Most baseless hasbara I've ever heard. Lemme guess the ICC is hamas too? Oxfam, amnesty are hamas? I could go on and on and on
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
Where's you're evidence of "protesters pledging allegiance to hamas" you think I forgot that brain-dead fucking claim??
Centrists suddenly dislike retaliation against anti-genocide protesters at Columbia.
Give it a few hours and both sides will be the same again
This is not normal. He did not commit a crime. Everyone in these borders has first amendment rights specifically to prevent the government from just declaring some people non citizens and oppressing them.
Don't you understand?! 1st amendment only applies to things that align with the Trump party agenda.
That's what makes America the most free country of all.
Secretary of State Marc Rubio also shared an article about Khalil on Sunday night and posted on X, "We will be revoking the visas and/or green cards of Hamas supporters in America so they can be deported."
Everyone regardless of immigration status has free speech rights in the US. Rubio is bragging about pissing and shitting on the Constitution. They cannot use immigration to suppress free speech, obviously. This guy needs to released by the courts immediately or American free speech is a complete farce.
His wife is a US citizen and he has a green card by the way. This is how it starts, first they were deporting illegal immigrants with a criminal record, now its anyone pro-Palestine. How long until its anyone that voted Democrat?
They're doing legal immigrants from Ukraine as well.
Harris wouldn’t have done this, you know it.
But all the protest voters assured us that not voting for Kamala would end the war in Gaza /s
that never happened
No centrist cares.
If they did, they wouldn't be a centrist
I’m a us citizen who has not been living in the US for years. I’m going back to visit my family this October and I’m honestly a bit scared.
It really depends on where. Southern states and cities are seeing more "enforcement". Some northern and more liberal states are fighting things. Outside of the cities I have not seen any ICE but I'm also not one of the targeted groups.
If you really are worried carry your passport.
I’m white, so totally not a targeted group. But it’s not just ice, it’s everything the US has become. Including the violence. Currently I live in a pretty peaceful place.
The internet really is not a good representation of the US when it comes to day to day life for 'normal' people.
Other than office gossip, the effects of our shitty leadership hasn't effected the lives of everyone. Its more of a storm off in the distance that casts a big shadow as it randomly electrocutes people here and there. But still far away that you can't see it happen, but you can hear it happen.
Do not rely on your whiteness or port of entry to give you a false sense of security. Currently a German citizen apprehended in CA and a British citizen apprehended in WA are both being held indefinitely.

I didn’t hear about the British person, but didn’t the German person have work scheduled in the US without authorization to work? I’m not saying she should be held indefinitely, but she was potentially breaking the law.
Would you trust the excuses ICE provides to detain someone?
Nope. She was going to do a tattoo for her American friend, but crucially this was a personal favor and not work.
Thanks for clarifying, I read that a while ago. I wonder if it was purposeful misinformation or just bad journalism.
It's unacceptably bad but at the same time not an issue. I realize that sounds crazy but unless you join a protest or live in or frequent a targeted community then you would think nothing changed.
This is why we don't have mass protests yet because it's not actually breaking out of the media sphere for most of America.
