From The Free Press, "The ICE Detention of a Columbia Student Is Just the Beginning": On Saturday evening, federal immigration authorities arrested an anti-Israel activist who helped lead protests against the Jewish state on Columbia University’s campus after Hamas’s October 7, 2023 attack. As progressive activists and free speech advocates protested the move to revoke Mahmoud Khalil’s green card over civil liberties concerns Monday, President Donald Trump warned that Khalil’s arrest would be the first “of many to come.”"The Trump administration is seeking to deport Columbia student Mahmoud Khalil specifically via INA Section 237 (a)(4)(C) after Secretary Rubio "found that his presence and activities in the U.S. would compromise a compelling US foreign policy interest, rendering him deportable," a senior State Department official tells me," Fox News' Bill Melugin reported on Tuesday. The statute renders deportable "an alien whose presence or activities in the United States the Secretary of State has reasonable ground to believe would have potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences for the United States..." Zeteo reported Tuesday that a State Department source told them Marco Rubio did personally sign off on the deportation order. Trump and his lackeys initially tried to justify the move to have Khalil deported by claiming he was some sort of horrible "pro-terrorist" lawbreaker but now they're just admitting he broke no laws and it's his opposition to Israel that makes him a threat to US "foreign policy."
