everyone should listen to this in its entirety but journalists should listen to it multiple times. this is how you ask questions. you just keep asking simple, easily answerable stuff and the evasiveness becomes that much more glaring
In which the Department of Homeland Security struggles to answer a very simple question: "Is any criticism of the United States government a deportable offense?"

Shameful!
columbia actively enabled one of its students to be kidnapped and disappeared. it is incumbent on anyone w/ secure employment to stand up now to force universities to guarantee the safety of our students
UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is.
They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there.
They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.

A full third of federal government employees are veterans. Elon and co think fed employees are a bunch of granola eating liberals but they're sorely mistaken. Rendering hundreds of thousands of veterans unemployed with cuts to their VA healthcare and no job prospects is a recipe for an insurgency.
