The Trump Administration appreciated the support of the Muslim Voters who have made this a reality.

His mistake was in trying to go about it the right and legal way.

Right, this is worse than those cop stings where they say you won the lottery and have to show up for your prize.

There are two doors. Behind one lies US citizenship. Behind the other is a numberless jail cell in the tropics. One ICE representative always tells lies. The other always tells lies.

[Just kidding. Both doors go to vanishing.]

Oh that’s pretty low.

Thanks for the clarification, because that one would be easy to win.

I think it's reprehensible, but for this regime, cruelty is the whole point.

Mr. Mahdawi is a peace activist.

It sounds like he was part of the group that took over the campus building and held people hostage.

While there, he organized with Palestinian and Jewish students towards peace, served as Columbia’s Buddhist Association president, and co-founded the Palestinian Student Union, alongside now-fellow-detained classmate Mahmoud Khalil.

The article doesn't outline his participation in the illegal activities and threats to the University. I'd like to know more.

For those in doubt, District Judge Geoffrey Crawford was confirmed by the Senate with 95-0 votes.
So with the agreement of all Republican Senators.

Man Detained at Green Card Appointment After Over 25 Years in US​

Gomez, a 42-year-old Mexico native, operates a food truck, Hibachi Explosion, [obvious terrorist] with his wife, in Washington state. The couple met in 2014 and were married in 2022, sharing two children together, 5 [years] and 10 months, and a 17-year-old from a previous marriage.

In 2023, his wife filed an I-130 petition on his behalf to begin the process of obtaining a green card.

The couple were notified of an immigration interview scheduled for 1 p.m. on April 24. They arrived with their paperwork, but an officer asked Cerdio to wait while they spoke with her husband. Shortly after, she was informed that he had been taken into custody on an arrest warrant, something she said came as a surprise.

But after speaking with her legal team, she said they "have no record of a warrant."

Cerdio said her husband has no criminal record, and Newsweek has not found any public records indicating otherwise.

Other immigrants have also been detained after appearing at Department of Homeland Security (DHS) offices, including [OP] Mohsen Mahdawi, a U.S. permanent resident for 10 years who was detained by ICE agents in Colchester, Vermont during a naturalization interview, Cliona Ward, has been held at San Francisco International Airport after delivering requested paperwork, and Rosmery Alvarado after appearing at a USCIS field office, among others.
