As protests arise and First Amendment questions mount surrounding the immigration detention of Mahmoud Khalil, Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., penned and circulated a letter demanding the immediate release of the recent Columbia University graduate.
It found little support among Tlaib’s colleagues in Washington, with a mere 14 Democrats signing their names on the letter condemning Khalil’s detention as an “illegal abduction.”
Rep. Adriano Espaillat, D-N.Y., who counts Khalil as one of his constituents, did not sign the letter. When contacted by The Intercept about the case, Espaillat said he expects the Trump administration — which has explicitly flouted and sought to circumscribe federal legal protections for civil liberties — to adhere to the rule of law.
The Trump administration itself has admitted the case against Khalil does not hinge on allegations that he broke the law and told a conservative news outlet that it will these proceedings as a blueprint to target other students.
I gave a shit. That’s why I voted for “Genocide Joe”. Because I wanted to prevent this. But you can’t save someone from themselves.
You only give a shit insofar at you can use it as a bludgeon to beat every Palestinian over the head with. Unless there some other reason why you’re so desperate to remind people “Palestinians deserve this for supporting Trump” multiple times on multiple posts?
I didn’t say they deserved it. That is you putting a spin on my words.
Palestinian protestors chose to discourage voters from voting for “genocide Joe”.
Even while so many predicted this outcome and tried to avoid it.
"Palestinian protestors chose to discourage voters from voting for “genocide Joe”. " there were a bunch who didn’t tho. Afaik most pro-palestine protestors voted for Kamala, including Palestinians. And again, even if they’re a small group (I’m pretty sure they’re the majority) why are you bringing it up in every discussion about Palestine? Do you think we were all vocally against Biden, or are you saying nobody should’ve protested the genocide in the first place, or shouldn’t have blamed it on Biden?
