Yep
Dude wasn't charged with ANY crime. And if he were, he is allowed due process to defend himself in court.
Rule of Law is dying faster than anyone imagined...

The university’s allegations against Khalil focused on his involvement in the Columbia University Apartheid Divest group. He faced sanctions for potentially helping to organize an “unauthorized marching event” in which participants glorified Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, attack and playing a “substantial role” in the circulation of social media posts criticizing Zionism, among other acts of alleged discrimination.

Again: Freedom of Speech.
If he did something illegal, he should be criminally charged for it, not arrested w/o due process.
So?
THERE IS NO US LAW VIOLATION HERE.
GET IT???
If the University wants to kick him out, that's their prerogative.
The protests were not peaceful they included arrests, along with antisemitism

And the university has a right to kick him out if that is what they determine.
However he has not been charged with much less convicted of a crime by a state government or the federal government.
You do it all the time w/ pushing the MAGA and Nazi shit.
But no one arrested you for it.
Free speech is free speech dude.
That's why racists get to be racist and go home at the end of the day.
Freaking all of MAGA supports Russia and we never arrested them for that.
If only Biden had known he could have rounded all the MAGAs up and tossed them into a Guantanamo camp.... 🙄
My understanding is he has not been charged. The administration just decided they didn't like how he was using his free speech rights and canceled his visa by fiat.
Can't wait for them to cancel my citizenship by fiat. I mean I was born here, my parents where born here but they are canceling birthright citizenship so who knows what makes one a citizen??
I guess I draw the line when you support a terrorist organization that raped and murdered innocent women and children including babies
Which is an overt violation of his 1A rights.
Need a judge to get our AG in court to release him in 24 hours or be held in contempt and jailed, herself over this shit.
And return GC credentials, which cannot be revoked in perpetuity. Judges need to stop playing games here - if this admin wants fascism, judges need to play some serious hardball.
Would you apply that to all the supporters of Russia here? They raped and murdered innocent women and children in Ukraine??
Or does Russia get a pass??
No indication he did this.
We should have you arrested for supporting pedophilia and child rape.
No need for any charges. Or whether you're guilty or not. Just the whim of whomever is "in charge"...
What kinds of non-violent civil disobedience actions can end up getting me arrested? The First Amendment to the US Constitution generally protects your right to engage in protests and political speech. However, the courts have said that the government can limit where and how political protests are made
The First Amendment states that Congress can make no law abridging the people’s right to freedom of speech, freedom of the press, to peaceably assemble or to petition the government for redress of grievances. This amendment includes protests and public assemblies. Protests and activism are not illegal activities. You cannot be arrested for the act of gathering or protesting alone. You may get in trouble, however, if you break a law or the protest becomes violent.
The protests weren’t peaceful

What has he been charged with?
Then charge him with a crime, give him a fair public trial.
This is the administration playing judge jury and executioner.
Read this from the ACLU, plus non citizens can be arrested under the Patriot act. See link

Your Right to Protest
You have a constitutionally protected right to engage in peaceful protest in “traditional public forums” such as streets, sidewalks or parks. But in some cases the government can impose restrictions on this kind of activity by requiring permits.

If he engaged in violence, he should be charged.
If he did not, he did nothing illegal.

Again: WHAT on that list was he guilty of?
A: Nothing.

He’s a permanent resident per the article.
Doesn’t matter he is not a citizen per the ACLU article
Nowhere in the ACLU article does it imply he can be arrested w/o due process or cause.
It says they can INVESTIGATE him. Period.
You should probably do some more research on Gaza before posting anymore.
Per the ACLU what the government did was ok, he led a protest where people did unlawful things and were arrested. It was not a peaceful protest so it doesn’t fall under the first amendment. My other article I posted goes into some of those things those people did
