NEW YORK - Hundreds of protesters gathered both inside and around Trump Tower in Midtown, with dozens arrested in a show of solidarity for Mahmoud Khalil.

The group claiming credit for the demonstration, "Jewish Voice for Peace", explained on Instagram that the event was in protest of the arrest of Mahmoud Khalil.

"The Trump administration thinks it can crush dissent and strip away constitutional rights. We know this playbook. We refuse to allow our neighbors to be abducted in our name," the post states. "As Jews, we are taking over the Trump Tower to register our mass refusal."

Arrest and prosecute them all to the fullest extent possible. I doubt there are many Jewish people in the group and they're probably getting their orders from the WEF.

This man is not an American and not under the jurisdiction of the constitution. I appreciate Rubio's truth on this matter:

Rubio Destroys Reporter Over Stupid Question About Mahmoud Khalil’s Green Card Being Revoked

The White House confirmed Tuesday that the Trump administration invoked a little-known provision of

pjmedia.com

.....Rubio.......made it crystal clear that visas and green cards are privileges, not rights. “When you come to the United States as a visitor, which is what a visa is… you are here as a visitor. We can deny you that visa.”

Rubio illustrated his point by offering an obvious example: “If you tell us when you apply, ‘Hi, I’m trying to get into the United States on a student visa. I am a big supporter of Hamas, a murderous, barbaric group that kidnaps children, that rapes teenage girls, that takes hostages, that allows them to die in captivity, that returns more bodies than live hostages’… If you told us all these things when you applied for a visa, we would deny your visa. I hope we would.”

Rubio continued, “If you actually end up doing that once you’re in this country on such a visa, we will revoke it. And if you end up having a green card, not citizenship, but a green card… we’re going to kick you out. It’s as simple as that.”....


.....“This is not about free speech. This is about people that don’t have a right to be in the United States to begin with. No one has a right to a student visa. No one has a right to a green card, by the way.”

Enraged lawbreaking humanity largely only knows strength/force/enforcement! Give it to them judicially.

NYC Police arrested almost 100 of them.

Why? Because if they didn't the state might lose every penny of their Federal funding. Nice carrot and stick approach.

The only way to deal with crime, especially that with violence, threats, and intimidation in play, is to arrest and go to court. Lawful protesting is fine, but we all know that is not what's been in play the past 5 or more years.

I'm pretty sure a good number will turn out to be green card holders, student visas etc, and can be repatriated immediately, saving the taxpayer from jailing them. Those who are citizens and guilty of a crime, need to be punished, fined, jailed or whatever the law allows. Should dampen the enthusiasm of the protest movements.

This is reminding me of Kent State and that summer of unrest and turmoil in 1970 when Nixon another Republican was in charge after a long season of Democrats under JFK then Johnson. Kent State shootings - Wikipedia

Nixon was trying to end the war, - his election promise, but was being drawn in further and the student protest movement was getting out of hand. We had a lot of draft dodgers moving north onto Vancouver Island where I lived at that time (Quadra Island). I remember a lot of them arriving with drugs, weird clothes and hair and counter culture ideas. They stuck like glue and are part of why Vancouver Island is such a leftist lunatic paradise.

If the war had gone on for another year I might've headed north myself.

Immigration Judge Just Gave Deportation Orders to Mahmoud Khalil​

An immigration judge ordered that Mahmoud Khalil, a central figure in the pro-Hamas student protests at Columbia University last spring, be deported to either Syria or Algeria for failing to disclose certain information on his green card application.

“This Court further finds that the Respondent understood the consequences and that the candid disclosure of his affiliations might lead to an additional line of questioning and the ultimate denial of his application for conditional permanent residency," wrote Immigration Judge Jamee Comans in the order. "This Court finds that Respondent’s lack of candor on his I-485 was not an oversight by an uninformed, uneducated applicant. This Court finds that the Respondent’s purposeful, non-disclosure was not a misrepresentation by another which imputed consequences to the Respondent."

Comans, who is based out of Jena, Louisiana, argued Khalil "willfully misrepresented material fact(s) for the sole purpose of circumventing the immigration process and reducing the likelihood his application would be denied."

Any of those who dodged the draft were or should be prosecuted upon returning to the USA.

Islam is just not compatible with western civilization. They will tell you that themselves, they want sharia law and nothing else. If the rapture happens next week things may sort themselves out with those left behind, but if not, at some point Christians and other peace loving non muslims are going to have to make a decision about trying to live side by side with those actively trying to destroy their way or life.

I think they were given amnesty decades ago.

Yes, you’re probably right

My Uncle evaded the draft by getting accepted as a student into a Canadian University. He stayed a student long enough to earn his Doctorate and by then Vietnam was over and he had lived in Canada long enough to qualify for Canadian citizenship. I don't know if he registered for the draft before he left, or not. One of my Aunts went to Canada with her husband when he dodged the draft, as well, and they ended up Canadian citizens. All four extremely liberal. My Aunt and Uncle were brought up Presbyterian. From something he wrote, I think my (now-deceased) Uncle was saved, but it appears my Aunt has lost her way

At some point, the muslims will have the numbers and positions to influence/take over (even if via election) government, and it'll be sharia. People will either convert or die. They may be able to put off the decision by paying a ruinous tax (dhimmitude) or fleeing. Eventually, neither of the latter two will be an option.

If The Lord tarries, we'll find ourselves in the same position as the Church under muslim rule/sharia.
Persecuted and underground.

I've lived and worked in sharia-controlled places, and I won't do it in my own country. I've made my choice and will likely be one of the first to die here
