We are greatly relieved to learn that the US government has dropped its plan to #deport Guan Heng, a #hero who took great risks to film concentration camps in which Uyghurs were imprisoned. Fearing that the Chinese Communist Party (#CCP) would persecute him for releasing his video, he fled to the US and applied for #asylum. We hope he will receive it soon.

…In recent years, the #ADL has taken an increasingly conciliatory approach to the #FarRight & a hard-line stance against critics of #Israel.

Earlier this year, the group defended #ElonMusk after he was accused of making a #Nazi salute at a rally celebrating Trump’s inauguration, calling it “an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm.”

It also initially praised the #Trump admin’s move to #arrest & #deport pro-#Palestinian #StudentActivists, a position it shifted after backlash.

#Trump admin makes *misleading* case in high-stakes #asylum hearing
#HomelandSecurity asked a judge to #deport a man to #Afghanistan, where he expects the #Taliban to kill him. What happens next could affect thousands.

To make its case, the #DHS did not accuse him of any crime or disloyalty or act of terrorism. Instead, attorneys argued that Afghanistan — a country #US forces rescued him from in 2021 — is safe for his return.
