Modern day Gestapo. I don't give AF about what someone authors that differs from anyone else
We are the United States of America for fucks sake and the 1st Amendment is paramount. This is the kind of shit you expect to see in 1930s Germany or in Putin's Russia.

Guy who had no problem with citizens being censored are worried about non-citizens being removed for
speech.
7,300,000 illegals waved in by Sleepy. But let's worry about this Hamas supporter being sent home.
I'm sure she'll do fine back home.
Where do you get your figures?

Perplexity. Give it a try.
Query: How many illegals did Biden let in?

For once just try and not act smarter than you are. A # was provided I want the source.
For acting like the exceptional one's, ya'll seem to need everything spelled out for you.
I gave you clear instructions, moron. Follow them.
You know it is true. Travel to New York you dolt.
Piggles thinks anecdotes are facts. You're cute.

Here you go, dolt.
Are you going to argue it is only 5,000,000 or something?

I'll pass on your Fox News, Heritage info. Google this string and let me know what it you see
'did Biden let in 25 million immigrants'
This is where we're missing BVZ's rules

We should be concerned.
Luigi Mangione is a US citizen charged with murder. The evidence appears overwhelming. Yet, Luigi is presumed innocent and will have the benefit of all rights provided by our Constitution. These rights are our “quality control.” By providing Luigi with these rights, we protect the innocent.
We provide similar due process for immigrants, whether they be here lawfully or unlawfully.
When we deny a visa or green card holders basic due process provided by law, we become a regime.
Think like an American.
Hopeful that Brian Thompson's sons will get to watch Luigi choke in a gas chamber.
Not surprised you are on board with this assassination.
Protecting individuals from government overreach is the fundamental tenet of our nation.
When you or a loved one become the target of unfettered power, remember this thread.
Or you could visit Independence Hall this weekend, and get a refresher course on who we are.
A student visa is a privilege. Not a right.

So, if you disagree with dear leader that’s grounds to deport? That’s what she did.
Pathetic, and also 1A protected.
She supports a designated terrorist group.
You are free to support Hamas, Frances. A person privileged to be here as a student puts herself in jeopardy of losing her visa if she does. Fuck her.
What has she gone to support them Piggles? She wrote a letter disagreeing with your Mango savior?
What else piggies?
Maybe you should consider a little pro bono work on her behalf.
As for me, Sayonara Bitch.

Lol.
I would happily spot you 25 points in an IQ test.
One would make a lot of money buying you for what you are really worth and selling you for what you
think you are worth, dullard.
Is that supposed to be profound or something?
OK. However, we both know I have accurately assessed the relative intellectual firepower, Frances. Good luck with tomorrow's arbitration!
Nope, just the truth. And also the only thing assessed accurately. Now run along you insufferable
ass.
Surrender accepted
But seriously, good luck tomorrow!
Again proving your normal arrogant, incorrect assumption. Along with the ever brilliant surrender
assertion. You really are a dumb shit.
Not just 1st, but also 5th amendment.
Where do you people get your facts from? The rights in our country do extend to almost everyone.
She can say what she wants
Her ability to remain as a student is a privilege
So you disagree with due process got it. Since when does the US detain and not charge?
Again Gestapo tactics.
She is being deported. Not detained.
Good riddance.
And? No rights, correct? Let’s be clear about your America:
ICE can walk into any college or postgraduate classroom, snatch up any student here on a student visa, and summarily detain and deport them?
She can head back to Turkey and make an appeal.
Good luck to her. She seems like a fine person.
Sure piggies. You believe in free speech right? isn’t that what you asswipes are always braying
about? What else has she done to support a terrorist group?
You're talking to someone who would've sympathized with Hitler. Sorry not sorry...

The visa holder enjoys First Amendment protection. She is not charged with a crime.
The United States gave her a visa.
If we reach to revoke it, the student is entitled to a hearing.
Detaining her without a hearing violates her due process and her First Amendment rights.
Any noncitizen can face the same political detentions we associate with regimes abroad.
Some keen insight from a NY Times piece:
"The footage of Rumeysa Ozturk’s arrest is a familiar sight for those of us who lived in countries with authoritarian regimes. In the video, Ozturk, a Turkish woman completing her Ph.D. studies at Tufts University, is approached on a sidewalk in Sommerville, Mass., by several plainclothes officers from the Department of Homeland Security while she was on her way to break her Ramadan fast with friends on Tuesday night. One hooded officer grabs her hands and arms as another officer, masked, approaches from her side. Clearly afraid, Ozturk is eventually handcuffed and taken to a black S.U.V.
This isn’t an isolated event: Ozturk is just the latest international student to have been picked up or targeted this way by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in the last month; the common through line to many of the cases is their participation in speech or protests against the war in Gaza, actions that are otherwise protected under this country’s free speech laws. As of Wednesday evening, Ozturk, who had a student visa, had been moved to Louisiana, and her lawyer said that, to her knowledge, Ozturk had not been charged with a crime.
It’s important to consider why ICE officers are making these arrests under the guise of immigration violations. Of the students targeted in similar fashion, none are charged with a crime, as far as we know. Rather, the federal government is utilizing a rarely used section of the Immigration and Nationality Act, which allows the secretary of state to deport noncitizens who could have “potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences for the United States.”
How broadly that could be interpreted under this administration is anyone’s guess. The government has provided very little public information in these cases about what exactly the students allegedly did to undermine U.S. foreign policy. And in an alarming sign, this process has involved not just student visa holders, but also green card holders.
Now, with the Trump administration’s broad use of ICE, it seems as if a precedent is being set: Any noncitizen can face the same type of political detentions we associate with regimes abroad.
Were Ozturk or others arrested by local or state police officers, they’d have much more due process. They could ask for bail. They could not be moved across state lines without reason and held indefinitely in federal detention facilities, as Mahmoud Khalil, Badar Khan Suri and Ozturk currently are while pursuing legal appeals.
Politically motivated detentions and deportations aren’t the only way the Trump administration is pushing the legal boundaries of ICE’s purview. The families of several Venezuelan men seeking asylum say the men were wrongfully arrested and deported to a Salvadorean mega prison because they were mistakenly thought to be associated with the Tren de Aragua gang. In those deportations, too, the administration has invoked a little-used law, the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, declaring the gang an enemy of the nation to speed up deportations of Venezuelan migrants with very little due process.
Effectively, these types of arrests could transform ICE into an extrajudicial force, one that could hold any noncitizen — regardless of the individual’s legal status — under an increasingly opaque and authoritarian set of laws. You could be in this country legally, even invited here on a Fulbright scholarship, as Ozturk was, and, without being accused of a crime, be taken off the street. Even though Ozturk’s arrest is a familiar sight to many, it’s difficult to believe that it’s happening here, today, in America."
It’s not like he didn’t telegraph this and it’s not like we didn’t
post this was one of his goals as a tyrant.
The worst part is how many in the US are just fine with this and what is next and next and next.
A lawless regime run by an authoritarian wannabe who pardons people who assault the police.

It is appalling. Rubio today said he has signed "hundreds" of visa cancellations.
This is abject bullshit. There is NO WAY they are all violent people.
Freedom of speech does not just apply to citizens.
Either there is a first amendment or there isn't. And we know what side the disgraceful president is on.
Attorneys across the nation such as Mark Elias are going to be next.
Speaking out against Der Orange Fuhrer is now a criminal offense. Mob bosses don’t like being referred to as monsters.
The American Anti Christ resides in the Whitehouse.
The complete denial of due process is abhorrent.
How would Rubio like it if the Government rounded up all the Cubans in Florida and shipped them back to Havana without a hearing on the grounds that all Cubans are "subversive."
It really is. What was predicted is starting to happen.

They weren't peacefully protesting, which is why their visa was revoked and processed for
deportation.
You should be on your best behavior of you're in a foreign country with a visa.
Then why aren’t there charges? It’s about her letter, not protesting.
