Thing is, if they're mad about student activism then what is the difference between expressing that view at a peaceful rally vs. classroom? Or in a class paper? They're preying on people with visas, but if they get away with a fact-free claim that speech=terrorism, mere citizenship protects nobody.
Trump takes aim at foreign-born college students, with 300 visas revoked
Some students have been picked up off the street by immigration agents and held in detention centers, sometimes a thousand miles away from their homes, with little warning

We have had nearly two decades of panic about Free Speech on Campus and not a single case, not even the ones they made up, were as bad as what's happening now
This is the text of the email just sent to hundreds of international students telling them that their visas have been revoked due to activism or social media posts.

In a shocking turn of events, many of the people who said they wanted "free speech" actually just wanted to be the ones in charge of which speech is free.
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.

Cutting off humanitarian aid to millions of civilians is a war crime. That is exactly what the extremist Netanyahu government is doing now to Palestinians in Gaza.

I’ve introduced resolutions to block billions in offensive arms sales to Israel & will demand votes on these bills.

Senator Fetterman says he’d support U.S. troops in Gaza. He should be ashamed.

I travel this country. I talk to people from all over the political spectrum, one thing everyone seems to agree on is not wanting US troops deployed anywhere, especially the Middle East.

This is a genocidal war crime endorsed by the president of the United States
COLLINS: Where exactly are you suggesting Gazans should go? Who do you envision living there?

TRUMP: I envision world people living there. The world's people. I think you'll make that into an international, unbelievable place.
