US arrests and Deports Antisemitic Jew Hating Palestinian Student In Columbia University protests against Gaza war

Did they rule that the SOS did not have to abide by due process? -
A little extreme on PETA's part, they probably should have used "Chicken Gulag"

Which may not withstand a court challenge in a situation such as this case. -
They haven't fallen yet where I'm at in L.A. I would like to see an independent consumer group verify this, not something from a federal agency Trump controls.

Black Lives Matter Plaza dismantled after Trump/GOP Congress threats to cut DC funding

OK, I stand corrected on the percentages. However, you seemed to use these numbers to infer from the BLM goals that they wanted less police protection, which would not be the case in calling to "End Police Brutality and Racial Violence" which would have to do with the quality of the police response, not the quantity of the police presence. And they did note that "Defunding the Police" was only called for by "Some BLM advocates" and it was for reducing and rellocating funds so that alternative approaches such as mental health support and social services could be used in some instances instead of a police response. -

You just can't grab somebody and deport them because you feel like it, the government has to prove their allegations if challenged by an attorney representing the deportee in a court of law. Yes, the deporation will in all probability still take place, but due process must be followed before that can be done. -
If Zelensky/Ukraine are not a part of it, then it again won't be a real negotiation.

As I suspected, you pulled these numbers out of...out of the air and have no link to back up the poll responses you claim are "literally" true. -

I am sure they will be deporting more but they will have to follow due process with those also. -

I would like to literally see a link to those numbers (particularly who ran the poll and the exact phrasing of the poll question). -

Sorry, but they still have to prove a national security threat or violations of immigration law, that is why the judge put a hold on the deportation proceedings. -

Jeebus. Well, that certainly clarifies where you are coming from. -

If he is here legally (he has a student visa and a green card) then due process under the law has to be followed before he can be deported (it just can't be because Trump doesn't like him expressing pro-Hamas views). -

You keep reapeating that like a parrot, but have yet to offer proof of any kind. -

An adjudication in a court of law with prrof that he broke some law, not these vague accusals and accusations that he is supporting Hamas or distributing pro-Hamas propaganda (neither of which are illegal). -

You keep saying that. How are their core goals Marxist? Core Goals: End Police Brutality and Racial Violence: BLM seeks to stop the disproportionate killings and mistreatment of Black people by law enforcement, advocating for accountability and reforms within the police system. Racial Justice and Equality: The movement aims to dismantle systemic racism in all areas of society, including the criminal justice system, education, housing, healthcare, and economic opportunities. Black Liberation: BLM seeks to empower Black communities and promote self-determination, advocating for policies and practices that uplift Black people and address historical injustices. Criminal Justice Reform: The movement calls for reforms to the criminal justice system, including reducing mass incarceration, addressing racial bias in sentencing, and investing in community-based solutions instead of punitive measures. Defunding the Police: Some BLM activists advocate for defunding the police, meaning reducing police budgets and reinvesting those funds in community services, such as mental health support, social services, and education. Uplifting Black Culture: The movement celebrates Black culture, art, and creativity, recognizing their importance in fostering community and resilience. Building Local Power: BLM emphasizes the importance of grassroots organizing and community empowerment, working to build local power structures that can address the needs of Black communities. Healing and Justice: The movement also focuses on healing from trauma and injustice, creating spaces where Black people can feel safe, supported, and heard. Addressing Intersectional Issues: BLM recognizes that Black people experience multiple forms of oppression, and the movement addresses issues of gender, sexuality, disability, and other marginalized identities. -

At this point who knows. That is really vague and open to interpretation. -

Exactly. Lots of things against him have been alleged, but no charges filed for any crime, hence the due process issues. Not to say that he won't be eventually deported (I think he will) just that the Constiutional requirements need to be followed in the meantime. -

According to who? The Southern Poverty Law Center disagrees: https://www.splcenter.org/resources/stories/black-lives-matter-not-hate-group/ Black Lives Matter Is Not a Hate Group [...] Black Lives Matter is not a hate group. But the perception that it is racist illustrates the problem. Our society as a whole still does not accept that racial injustice remains pervasive. And, unfortunately, the fact that white people tend to see race as a zero-sum game may actually impede progress. -

What did he specifically do, what laws did he break that he has been charged with to warrant deportation? -

BLM is not a "hate group" marxist or otherwise (although one of their founders had marxist views but she didn't stay long with the organization). -

No, but they run the place, so theirs is the only opinion that counts. -

Which is where due process comes in here along that pesky "innocent until proven guilty" concept. -

No, I doubt that it would be considered as a terrorist threat, but depending on the wording and who it was directed against it could be viewed as an incitement to violence. -

Has ICE proven in a court of law that Kahil Mahmood “endorses or espouses terrorist activity or persuades others to endorse or espouse terrorist activity"?
