This is really bad: https://www.cnn.com/2025/03/10/us/mahmou...index.html
It's good that the administration can't just deport him, but the fact that they are trying to do this to a lawful permanent resident is a terrible precedent.
It's not an exaggeration to say this is a serious escalation of policies attacking immigrants, political activism, and free expression.
It's pretty textbook that you can't legally punish someone for speech. He had disciplinary charges at Columbia but, as far as I'm aware, no criminal charges, indicative that there was no belief he committed a crime at Columbia, at the time. No actual charges have been revealed, either, not that this administration gives a shit about legal process.
This shit is real bad and likely to get worse.
