They are afraid to get deported for replying.
I'm OOTL or something who's the bottom guy?
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.
That's the biggest issue, even the courts say that they have no right to detain him
Splitting hairs, but a green card only means permanent residency.
I did specify that he is a legal resident and not a citizen.
has he been found at all? last I know his pregnant wife and lawyer (different person) couldn't even reach him
Thanks a lot!
Checks out, Israel has been explicitly and intentionally modelling Nazi Germany from the very start, and often in collaboration with them.
Hey, are political memes allowed here?
Yep, there's a comm for non-political memes as well.
Thanks. I hate getting more politics shoved up my face, its pretty depressing

Political memes are the best memes.
Y’all shoulda voted Kamala and this wouldn’t have happened…
Ah yes because she said she was going to deport people and shut down protests.
Trump literally said he was going to do that while campaigning - and is now doing just that.
At least you would’ve had a voice.
Point being, this guy wouldn’t be locked up.
Edit: if anyone had any other realistic options given the situation I’m all ears lmao
Kamala was VP under Biden, who like Obama gave billions to Israel to murder Palestinians. Even tho the majority of people oppose the war, they get this anyway.
The US is not a democracy, it's a capitalist dictatorship.
It never was a democracy
So you’re trying to tell me it would’ve been the same and/or worse under Kamala? I want some of whatever you’re on…
I get it’s not ideal, but you’ve got millions of idiots here in the US that couldn’t give a shit about Palestine. I’m not one of the ones you need to convince of this. I just voted for the better of the two options this time around considering the stakes. Voted Bernie Sanders in both 2016 and 2020.
Edit: wonder if you’ll still feel the same way once the special needs orangutan and his best buddy Netanyahu turn Gaza into a strip mall or golf course….
you’re trying to tell me it would’ve been the same and/or worse under Kamala
That's exactly what I'm trying to tell you
Pretty sure what they meant is same for Palestine.
However it would be without the blatant authoritarian BS going on that hurts people in the US even more.
If your end goal is the fall of US as the result of this, then fair, and I do hope this doesn't lead to the worst outcome possible - a third world war.
if anyone had any other realistic options given the situation I’m all ears lmao
Passing electoral reform at the state level so more then 2 political parties can run for office without a spoiler effect.
