MissConstrue<p>Columbia University, the epicenter of a number of issues, has conferenced their journalism students to tell them that if they are not US citizens, they should not publish anything likely to anger Trump, Russia, Israel, or the techbros, saying “Nobody can protect you.” They’ve been told to blank their social media of anything that might offend. </p><p>And yes, outrage is warranted, but Columbia has in its toolbox some of the brightest legal graduates and professors. If they don’t think they can lawyer up enough to stop this illegal curtailing of speech, the problem is a lot bigger than many people realize. Not the least of which is that other countries are dictating what people can say on American soil. </p><p>On one hand, the dean is trying to protect his students, on the other hand, never obey in advance. </p><p>(Archive link because NYT) <a href="https://archive.ph/zHMoo" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">archive.ph/zHMoo</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> </p><p><a href="https://mefi.social/tags/columbia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>columbia</span></a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/freespeech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>freespeech</span></a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/authoritarianism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>authoritarianism</span></a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/aipac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>aipac</span></a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/gaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gaza</span></a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/lebanon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lebanon</span></a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/palestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>palestine</span></a></p>

nullagent<p>US Palestinian college activist Mahmoud Khalil has been illegally arrested by ICE over the weekend.</p><p>Khalil is a green card holder and there is no known legal justification for his arrest. This appears to have been an arbitrary arrest at the direction the White House. Last I heard Khalil has not been allowed to speak to a lawyer. He has been transfered over 1000 miles to ICE detention in Louisiana.</p><p><a href="https://partyon.xyz/tags/FreeMahmoudKhalil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FreeMahmoudKhalil</span></a></p><p><a href="https://partyon.xyz/tags/FreePalestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FreePalestine</span></a> <a href="https://partyon.xyz/tags/Columbia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Columbia</span></a> <a href="https://partyon.xyz/tags/NYC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NYC</span></a> <a href="https://partyon.xyz/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a> <a href="https://partyon.xyz/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://partyon.xyz/tags/acab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>acab</span></a> <a href="https://partyon.xyz/tags/FreeSpeech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FreeSpeech</span></a> <a href="https://partyon.xyz/tags/ICE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ICE</span></a> <a href="https://partyon.xyz/tags/Louisiana" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Louisiana</span></a></p>
MikeDunnAuthor<p>This is Mahmoud Khalil. He graduated from a leadership program at Columbia University in December, and is still in university housing. He's married, and his wife is eight months pregnant. Mahmoud is passionate about education, and has had a variety of jobs involving education and disadvantaged youth. He's particularly interested in creating programs that help educate out-of-school youth in developing countries. </p><p>Mahmoud has a green card. He is a lawful, permanent resident of the United States. Remember that, it's going to be important in what's about to happen. <br>Last night (Saturday) as Mahmoud and his wife walked into their university-owned apartment building, two men in plain clothes slipped in the door behind them. </p><p>The men claimed they were ICE agents. They also claimed that they had a warrant for Mahmoud's arrest on their phone, and that his student visa was being revoked.<br>Reminder: Mahmoud has a green card. He's no longer on a student visa. <br>Mahmoud told them he had a green card, and his wife went up to their apartment to get it. When she returned, the agents, confused, made a phone call where the agents were told "we're revoking that too."<br>The agents refused to give Mahmoud's wife a reason why he was being detained. When Mahmoud's lawyer called, ICE refused to say why Mahmoud was being detained and that his "student visa was revoked." When the lawyer (again) pointed out that he had a green card, ICE representatives said that also would be revoked. </p><p>You may be wondering, "Hey, isn't it illegal for ICE to come onto private property -- the university -- without showing a warrant to the university for the arrest? Wouldn't the warrant necessarily say something about why he was being arrested?" </p><p>Great question. Columbia University has publicly said that ICE requires a warrant to enter non-public areas of campus (like housing), but also as of the moment has refused to answer whether ICE contacted them before slipping into the apartment building behind Mahmoud and his wife. <br>Meanwhile: Mahmoud has been sent to a for-profit prison in New Jersey with no official charges. </p><p>Nevertheless, we know why Mahmoud was arrested. </p><p>Mahmoud has been involved in peaceful protests at the university, asking that the school stop investing in weapons manufacturing and, in particular, that the school stop investing in companies that are helping to fund the killing of people in Gaza. </p><p>So, just to make this very clear and simple: A lawful, permanent resident of the United States has been arrested for exercising his freedom of speech. <br>The US government doesn't like some of his OPINIONS and so they have arrested him and are making plans to deport him. <br>Maybe you don't like Mahmoud's opinions. Maybe you don't agree with him. Fine. But the point is: the US government is arresting LEGAL IMMIGRANTS -- PEOPLE WITH GREEN CARDS -- for *exercising their freedom of speech*.</p><p>This is not the behavior of a nation that is the "land of the free and the home of the brave." It's an act of profound cowardice and an arbitrary and cruel exercise of power.</p><p>ETA: Mahmoud's wife, an American citizen, attempted to see him at the New Jersey facility today and has been told that he's not there. His lawyer says he may be as far away as Louisiana, but the point is this: he's now not only been "detained" without charges, but neither his wife nor his lawyer know where the US government is holding him.</p><p>Here is the petition:<br><a href="https://actionnetwork.org/letters/demand-the-immediate-release-of-columbia-student-pro-palestine-advocate-mahmoud-khalil-from-dhs-detention?source=direct_link" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">actionnetwork.org/letters/dema</span><span class="invisible">nd-the-immediate-release-of-columbia-student-pro-palestine-advocate-mahmoud-khalil-from-dhs-detention?source=direct_link</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/mahmoudkhalil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mahmoudkhalil</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/palestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>palestine</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/freepalestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>freepalestine</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ice</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/racism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>racism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/immigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>immigration</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/columbia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>columbia</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>trump</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fascism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/prison" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>prison</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/freespeech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>freespeech</span></a></p>
