It's tough to refer to someone as a criminal if you've given them no due process to determine whether they're a criminal. Like if you get arrested and get a trial and are convicted of 34 felony counts. That's due process. You can call that guy a criminal.

Debunking LA Times Fascism With Facts We cannot leave unanswered these 20 published lies about the US Government's illegal abduction of Mahmoud Khalil

LA Times argues green card holders do not get Constitutional rights because they aren't citizens

This is the same fascist logic used to lock up Japanese Americans, deny Jewish refugees, & commit genocide against Black & Indigenous peoples.

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.

Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

Do not.

ICE arrests Palestinian activist who led Columbia University protests, lawyer says Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian activist who helped lead Columbia University's student encampment protests, has been arrested by ICE, his lawyer says.

If the government can arrest a U.S. resident living here legally without charges and deport them, that is a grave threat to the civil liberties of all of us.

Politics has no business here. This is a direct attack on free speech and our constitutional rights.
