And the contention seems to be that he doesn't have to be, DHS can just label him a terrorist or aligned to Hamas and deport him on those grounds alone with out having to offer any evidence to a magistrate. That seems pretty clearly a violation of the Constitution.

If that is all DHS says he has done and doesn't give any specifics as what those leading activities were, and what is meant by "aligned to Hamas" then that is clearly a Constitutional due process violation along with not being allowed to talk to his defense counsel.

Yes, it is worse than I thought. From the NYT: Columbia Activist Has Not Been Allowed to Speak Privately With Lawyers.

What law did he break? Is leading activities aligned to Hamas illegal? It does not appear the DHS has defined what exactly they mean by that. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cgj5nlxz44yo After Mr Khalil's arrest the Department of Homeland Security accused him of "leading activities aligned to Hamas" but did not provide further details.

No. Not with Trump.

Apparently not. Under their definition, Martin Luther King, Jr. was a terrorist for his sit in at Rich's Department Store in Atlanta in 1960, which led to his arrest.

How can a peaceful sit-in a building open to the general public be considered an act of terrorism? It is probably illegal and they can and should be arrested but it is not terrorism, please.

If you believe that I got a bridge to sell you.

Winning! https://x.com/kylegriffin1/status/1900231679715016789 SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Judge in mass firing case orders Trump administration to reinstate probationary federal workers across multiple agencies.

A sit-in in now considered domestic terrorism? You can't make this stuff up.

A sit-in is an insurrection? Are they attacking police officers like on Jan 6, with clubs, bottles, tire irons, flag poles and bear spray? (Maybe I missed that part in the clip)

Of course it is. Habitat for Humanity in now a criminal organization for receiving grants from the EPA under the Biden administration? You have got to be kidding.

Yeah, sure looks like an insurrection. https://x.com/search?q="Trump Tower"&src=trend_click&vertical=trends (video clip at link) BREAKING: The Jewish Group, "Jewish Voice for Peace" is holding a sit-in in the lobby of Trump tower right now. They are calling for the release of Mahmoud Khalil. Meanwhile Trump is calling Jewish people "Palestinian" and "Not Really Jewish" You tell me who the antisemite is..

No, and I wonder if the hurry to arrest him, even though he had not been charged with any crime, will come back to bite ICE and Trump.

Sooknanan ruled that Trump's firing of Grundmann violated federal laws and Congress' power to establish the independent body.

Just when you think it couldn't get any worse.

Exactly. Elections have consequences. Trump and MAGA have said he has been given a mandate in the election taking all three branches of government. Since Republicans hold all the cards (to quote Trump berating Zelensky) let's see them govern without the Democrats.

Exactly. And they criticized Democrats at Trumps SOTU address for not standing, because he used the kid with brain cancer only as a prop and he didn't really care about kids with cancer (with Elon cutting pediatric cancer research funds). This proves we were right, it was all just theatre on Trump's part to make him look like maybe he had an ounce of compassion.

Not when you refer to them as "Demon Rats"

If you need Democrats, then you need to negotiate with Democrats. Those are your two options. Blaming someone else because your shoes are untied isn’t one.
