What does Columbia University “protecting Jews” look like? Because the COOTWH Administration said it, it must be true, eh?

Game, set and match, even nbc can’t bail out that assertion 

“… if the State Department has “reasonable ground to believe that a noncitizen’s presence or activities in the country would have serious adverse foreign policy consequences, then that person is deportable, and so even a green card holder can be deportable on those grounds.”

Thanks for expressing your agreement with a fascist state. Good thing you’re around protecting democracy. Why am I not surprised? Because you, and many others may not read it, from A Letter From An American:

As the administration’s economic policies are rocking the economy, the administration’s arrest and detention of Mahmoud Khalil, a 30-year-old Syrian-born Palestinian activist who figured prominently in the Gaza Solidarity Encampment at Columbia University last April, seems designed to rock society. According to Democracy Now, Khalil is an Algerian citizen, but he holds a U.S. green card and is married to a U.S. citizen who is 8 months pregnant. 

Shortly after he took office, Trump issued an executive order saying he would revoke the student visas of anyone he claimed sympathized with Hamas. On Saturday, agents from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested Khalil. Khalil’s lawyer said that ICE agents claimed they were acting on the orders of the State Department to revoke Khalil’s student visa, apparently unaware that Khalil, who graduated from Columbia’s School of International and Public Affairs in December 2024, is a lawful permanent resident of the United States. When his wife showed officers documents proving that status, the lawyer said, an officer said they were revoking his green card instead. He is apparently being held in Louisiana. 

The revocation of a green card is very rare. The Associated Press noted that the Department of Homeland Security can begin the process of deportation for lawful permanent residents who are connected to alleged criminal activity. But Khalil hasn’t been charged with a crime. Nik Popli of Time magazine notes that a green card holder can be deported for supporting terrorist groups, but in that case the government must have material evidence. A Homeland Security spokesperson did not offer any such evidence, saying simply that Khalil’s arrest was “in support of President Trump’s executive orders prohibiting anti-Semitism” and that Khalil “led activities aligned to Hamas, a designated terrorist organization.” 

That is, the Trump administration has arrested and detained a legal resident for expressing an opinion that Trump officials don’t like, likely using Khalil to launch this extraordinary attack on the First Amendment because they don’t expect Americans to care deeply about his fate. Once the principle is established that the government can arrest and jail protesters, though, officials will use it to silence opposition broadly. “This is the first arrest of many to come,” Trump posted just after noon. “We know there are more students at Columbia who have engaged in pro-terrorist, anti-Semitic, anti-American activity, and the Trump Administration will not tolerate it.”

Representative Greg Casar (D-TX) posted: “This is illegal, and it endangers the rights of all Americans. In this country, people must be free to express their views—left or right, popular or unpopular—without being detained or punished by the government.” On this basic principle, Americans across the political spectrum appear to agree. Right-wing pundit Ann Coulter was one of those who stepped back from the idea of arrests and deportations of those expressing opinions. “There’s almost no one I don’t want to deport,” she posted, “but, unless they’ve committed a crime, isn’t this a violation of the first amendment?” 

Today, U.S. District Judge Jesse M. Furman ordered that Khalil “shall not be removed from the United States unless and until the Court orders otherwise,” and ordered a hearing on Wednesday.

Get your jackboots polished, there’s some libraries and bookstores to storm.

It might be rare, but those are the rules. It’s rare because most who emigrate here do not support and organize rallies for enemies of the USA. 

He came here for a better life, and thanked this country by supporting a terrorist organization. And after you sift thru the liberal media and those long posts, you’ll find out deportation is perfectly legal in this case. So we should now break the law or rules to support terrorism? 

Edit, and I can also support the judges ruling, better he receive due process. We know where that path ends up.

And we know Trump’s motive is to attack the educational system and suppress freedom
of expression on campuses, and not fight anti-semitism. 

We spent $400 million of our money for an institution allegedly supporting anti American protests. Where else does this nonsense happen?

I don’t know what was anti-American about it. Exercising free speech via assembly is pro-American as far as I’m concerned. Where does any western country with higher levels of freedom try to punish schools because the students did something the government disapprove of? 

Why the heck are taxpayers subsidizing a school with BILLIONS in its endowment?

 So it wasn’t your classes canceled or classrooms destroyed? Taking over a university, preventing students from receiving their extremely expensive education, while rallying hate against America and its policies. If he were a citizen sure. But here on a green card? The law and immigration rules are not so clear.

All from someone who is not a citizen. Let him get his day in court. Let him express his hatred of a group of Americans in front of a judge.

Government give schools grant money for specific research.

And fund PhD programs and research but yea, we don’t need any of that shit because the billionaire class will invent all the new things and make new great products and discoveries without the lib educators being involved.

Columbia has a $15 billion endowment and charges students nearly half a million dollars for a degree. If they are going to allow students to be bullied and intimidated  by Hamas supporting non citizens, they clearly have no need for taxpayer money.

Why does Israel need $4 billion plus of US taxpayer money per year? They’ve been around now for 70+ years. Time to pull the big boy pants on and support themselves, eh?

You need to read Columbia’s annual report and come back with an update.

Bullied and intimidated, because they know the truth hurts. What does Columbia University “protecting Jewish students” look like? Safe ride vans with stars of David? Armed Mossad escorts? Everyone tapes their mouth upon entering campus? Please express what that is.

They are trying to protect the families and students that can afford 100k a year for school. And it’s New York. This state has always supported Jews and Israel. It is politics, for better or worse.

What specific actions does Columbia University need to take “to protect Jews?” What does “protecting Jews” at Columbia University look like?

How so? You said “they.” Same question to you as to Lerx.

They means the University and its students without any bias towards religious or ethnic affiliation. Speak your mind. Take a position. Demonstrate. But do not harass or interfere with kids just trying to go to class. This is a tough subject.

EDIT: I never said protect the Jews. Protect the students.
