A remarkable number of the students suspended, expelled + convicted in the name of Jewish safety on campus are themselves Jews. How do Trump + the ADL justify that? By redefining Jewishness itself. peterbeinart.substack.com/p/you-are-no...

SCOOP—Emails obtained by Prem Thakker and Zeteo show Mahmoud Khalil reached out for help from the Columbia administration *one day before* ICE detained him.

He said he couldn't sleep from threats he was receiving.
He even wrote he feared ICE "might come to my home."

Mahmoud Khalil “was abducted before [his wife’s] very eyes" and "disappeared,” says Ramzi Kassem, CUNY professor of law.

Kassem is the founder of the legal clinic CLEAR, which is contesting Khalil's "baseless" detention and Louisiana transfer in New York court.

This is unacceptable, and as an identifiably Jewish academic, I have to say: Not in my name. I refuse to be the government’s excuse for xenophobia, Islamophobia, and anti-Palestinian racism. This is not for my safety, and it never will be.
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Agents told him his visa was revoked.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 They were confused—then said that was revoked too.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.

I guess the remarkable thing here is that there’s not even a nominal “concession” from Sheinbaum. Nothing changed between yesterday and today on migration or drug policy, but the tariffs are gone. He backed down without an excuse.
