Believe it or not straight to jail - Lemmy

I’m OOTL or something who’s the bottom guy?
He’s a normal dude in the US with a green card, who the ICE has a hold of 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 possibly deport them. It happens all the time. But that is not what is happening here. They arrested and detained an American without due process.

Splitting hairs, but a green card only means permanent residency.
I did specify that he is a legal resident and not a citizen.
Who is Mahmoud Khalil, the Columbia student activist arrested by ICE?

A U.S. green card holder faces deportation after helping lead student protests at Columbia University in New York last spring over the war in Gaza. President Donald Trump has warned that Mahmoud Khalil's arrest is the β€œfirst arrest of many” as his administration cracks down on opposition to the war. But a federal judge has temporarily blocked his expulsion from the country, pending a Wednesday hearing in Manhattan federal court. Khalil was detained Saturday and is being held at a federal facility in Louisiana. He served as a student negotiator and was one of the most visible activists during the protests at Columbia, which also took place on other college campuses around the world.

AP News
has he been found at all? last I know his pregnant wife and lawyer (different person) couldn’t even reach him
He has quite literally been disappeared. Last rumor I heard yesterday is that they transferred him to a different state to avoid some state laws.
