Never in my decade of filing FOIA requests have I gotten a response like this. Customs and Border Protection denies my request, saying "Due to law enforcement sensitivities we can neither confirm nor deny the existence of records." No exemption cited, no name of who wrote this.

Columbia grad student with a green card and a pregnant US citizen wife, abducted by ICE because of his political organizing, and now his lawyers can't find him.
Hey, @schumer.senate.gov. This is your constituent. Bring him back home.

UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is.
They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there.
They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.

NEWS: Last night, the Department of Homeland Security detained a Palestinian who helped lead the Columbia encampment.
Agents told him his visa was revoked. He said he had a green card. They were confused—then said that was revoked too.
His attorney demanded a warrant. Agents hung up instead.

— DHS (who conducted this detention) did not answer questions & said we should ask the White House
— Columbia didn’t answer whether they knew in advance about campus DHS or ICE activity, or if they shared info about the detained individual or other students with authorities

There are no words that sufficiently describe this level of cruelty and sadism.

The Washington Past
Ignorant on "free markets" and liberty in the context of news. Just about the only thing the Founders agreed on is that it should be basically, socialized. Why they invested so much in the postal service, only disagreeing whether newspaper postage should be free or almost free. THAT was liberty.
