The Trump administration said she “engaged in activities in support of Hamas.” Her friends and lawyers say all she did was co-author an essay critical of the war in Gaza.

Inevitably what'll happen, soon, is video will appear of masked plainclothes white men yanking a woman off the street into a van, and then ICE or CBP will go "no, actually that wasn't us"

And no one will be able to figure out whether they're lying, or ever see her again.

Abolish ICE is not an absurdity statement. ICE was created in 2003 as a response to 9/11 - we do not need it. We already established that following orders isn't an excuse.

the entire political project of the american right is to create a hierarchy with protected in-groups and punished out-groups. there is no moral nor political upside in meeting them half way on any of those out-groups. the only people in a bubble are those who deny that hierarchy is their agenda

NYU canceled a planned speech by the former president of Doctors Without Borders because she planned to discuss the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and cuts to US AID.

This is what actual campus censorship looks like.

This is quite bad. The White House should not be directly involved with specific arrests.
Update: DHS — whose officers conducted this detention — did not answer questions. It instead directed us to the White House.
NEWS: Last night, the Department of Homeland Security detained a Palestinian who helped lead the Columbia encampment.

Agents told him his visa was revoked. He said he had a green card. They were confused—then said that was revoked too.

His attorney demanded a warrant. Agents hung up instead.

He is a legal permanent resident with a green card, and his wife is 8 months pregnant. He has been harassed by law enforcement and the university for months. It’s a disgusting racist targeting and it’s meant to scare you into silence.

Columbia is welcoming ICE agents into their campus, with or without warrants, and instructing faculty not to interfere with their operations to arrest, harass, or deport students.

It is clear now that Columbia will take no action to protect students on visas or with green cards.

these guys literally only know one move and not only is it a terrible move on its own terms, but in this specific case is wildly inadequate to the moment.
No one has tried this before, let's see how it plays out.

as trump is about to be inaugurated with a governing trifecta, I think people should really re-consider the notion that "the government should be able to force a speech platform with an ideologically disfavored ownership sell to a new owner with an approved ideology"

Really hoping that this helps forestall some of the discrimination character and fitness committees are perpetrating in evaluating the fitness of anti-genocide activists.
Today, we, along with Pal Legal, NLG, ADC, CCR, the Palestinian American Bar Association, and the Climate Defense Project sent a letter to C&F committees across the US warning that discrimination against pro-Palestinian activists violates anti-discrimination laws and constitutional protections.
