Walked by the site of a raid the week of the Joint Session when Rep Al Green demonstrated courage. ICE's raid was big publicity to create fear with big guns of various kinds—including the kinds that that shoot. One person was arrested. Many children traumatized. The lawless actions of ICE must be stopped & must no longer be funded! https://www.goodmorningamerica.com/news/story/immigration-raid-dhs-secretary-noem-ice-bringing-consequences-119416319

We should all be terrified by this. This is not our country. Not the one we love and cherish.

I think that like many, Columbia U is scared of Trump. I cannot imagine there is any "colluding" going on.

This arbitrary detention was not done with cooperation by the university or anyone else. It's another Donald Trump Show meant to spread fear, a common tactic used by tyrants to get and maintain control. Abdel Fattah El-Sisi has used it; there are still thousands of disappeared Egyptians who are still missing.

When is Donald Trump going to be arrested for treason along with Musk, Vance, and the entire cabinet?

Would that it were that simple. They can disappear people of principle but, try & round them up & put them where they belong...Rubio!!

Thank you, Mr. Rashid, for updating us on Mr Khalil’s current situation.

So, is this directly out of the MBS playbook? Sounds strangely & frighteningly familiar.

This is way beyond anything most of us would imagine! A shame & a blight upon this nation.

It is not surprising QR. It is a move they believe will not draw much resistance or push back from many quarters. They are mistaken. The only question is have the Democrats learned anything from recent events. We will probably see a disjointed response. They should state clearly what this is & where it leads to. The Democratic leadership needs to read Martin Niemoller’s writings. Once a Nazi gets away with something, they do not stop or slow down. No, they intensify with glee! This administration is testing the water temperature. That is why all must push back with full response immediately! You have reacted accordingly. Well done! Now, others must step forward with fortitude!!!

This cannot stand . Nobody is safe from this. We are a democratic Republic and anyone going along with it is not upholding their oath to our Constitution. This is criminal and fascist. No.

Done. This is just outrageous. It cannot be allowed to stand.

This is horrendous. Trump must be stopped. Where are the courts? I see they are also violating his right to legal representation. What a horrible time this is . The thought that this can be allowed to happen makes me ill . When will Trump/Musk and their hateful rhetoric and behavior be checked and answered by the Courts .

US Federal judge in SDNY has ordered all parties to appear on Wednesday at 11:30am. So a step in the right direction.

Jimmy Carter forcefully criticized Israel‘s Apartheid and Palestinian human rights violations. No one ever tried to arrest or deport Jimmy Carter as a “Terrorist Supporter.” Maybe Trump can posthumously prosecute the former Nobel Peace Prize recipient.
