That's Mahmoud Khalil, a normal dude in the US with a green card, who the ICE has a hold of and wants to deport because he did some very legal peaceful protests for Palestine

Aii caramba, that's pretty... Well standard for the US by now, but still.

It's definitely not standard... But it's not surprising that it's happening. Unfortunately.

And it's extremely concerning.

Important to note here that the he has not been charged with a crime.

If a legal resident commits a crime there is a process to detain, try, sentence, and (potentially) deport them. It happens all the time. But that is not what is happening here. They arrested and detained an American without due process.

Splitting hairs, but a green card only means permanent residency.

[–] Toribor@corndog.social 1 points 4 days ago

I did specify that he is a legal resident and not a citizen.

That's the biggest issue, even the courts say that they have no right to detain him
