nostr:npub1ugnq57hn8va6xqr5zywy2eunem6c624583vkt0dmv40ep7tnnxkqrr898l so you’re saying he shouldn’t have first amendment rights to protest the policies of the university he attended? And despite not being convicted of a crime he should lose residency in the country and the right to live with his wife and child because he lead a protest?!

If it were up to me I wouldn't deport him.

I wouldn't want him to be the rallying cry for the leftists & I wouldn't want to make him famous.

But to be honest, if you're gonna be a green card holder you should be smarter if you actually didn't want this to be a potential outcome.

This makes me think that he wanted this to happen because he seems like a smart fellow.

He didn't simply protest though,

His wife's words:

"When things started at Columbia, his main role was the lead negotiator [between student protesters and Columbia administrators.]"

& to reiterate my only point on this matter;

This is not a freedom of speech issue, it's a non-citizen blackmail issue.

To say that this deportation attempt threatens free speech laws is insane.

I think Twitter banning Trump was a freedom of speech issue.

What was your stance on that at the time?

Just wondering because most leftists who claim freedom of speech is important were quiet or vocally stating that Twitter has a right to ban him.
