The arrest is yet another example of ‘promises made, promises kept’ from President Trump and his pledge to arrest and deport foreign troublemakers who are making college campuses unsafe for Jewish students.

Hopefully they will locate many more to deport.

Material support, not for staging protest which is free speech.
His green card has been revoked and he is facing deportation. Supporters of Hamas will be deported. We're not going to let this turn into Nazi Germany, we will not stand for any violations of civil rights of Jewish students.

Indeed. As I said. What first amendment?

I clicked through a link in to the OP to the New York Post article:
”An ICE agent reportedly told Khalil’s lawyer Greer the agency was enforcing a State Department edict to revoke Khalil’s student visa as well as his green card, pursuant to President Trump’s recent pledge to deport foreign student “agitators” responsible for fomenting campus unrest.”

What was his “crime”?

Mahmoud Khalil is not accused of violating any law, yet the United States government has arrested and incarcerated him, a legal resident of the United States, for exercising free speech. You don't see the problem with this?

Is making threats against the safety and well-being of others, protected by the first amendment?

Protesting another country while in the United States.

It's in the OP article.

After leading violent and threatening protests at Columbia University, on Saturday, President Trump’s ICE agents arrested activist Mahmoud Khalil, who has led anti-Israel protests at Columbia and Barnard College.

Khalil had threatened Columbia in the past, saying “As long as Columbia continues to invest and to benefit from Israeli apartheid, the students will continue to resist,”

Then he had more ominous words “Not only protests and encampments, the limit is the sky.”


But I suppose if he's pro-hammas and anti-jew, that means he's a victim who's constitutional rights are being violated by the dictator administration.

Where do you get that he is either of those things? Pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel for sure, but supporting Palestinians does not mean that one supports Hamas, nor does opposing Israel's actions in Palestine make one an antisemite.
