Oh I see. Was there any reason they jailed him/her, or just that the person wasn't a citizen?

Apparently she just criticized Israel.

We either have a Constitution or we don’t. You can’t just deport people who are legally here because they exercised some free speech you didn’t like.

Foreigners are guests here and they don't have to right to engage in political agitation.

So free speech, but only if they agree to your opinion?

It would seem so.

Lame strawman attempt.

Non-citizens are not afforded the full rights that citizens have.

Read the paperwork that resident aliens mostly sign without reading.

Just because a person can fog a mirror doesn't mean they are magically endowed with the full status and rights that an actual United States Citizen enjoys because they happen to have two feet on US territory.

So what did they sign that said they don’t have free speech?

The First Amendment applies to everyone, including non-citizens. The Constitution makes no distinction and the Supreme Court has upheld this.

Lol, somebody missed their civics classes.

You make snide and unsubstantiated claims which are false.

I post actual excerpts of Federal law to back up my position.

(C) Foreign policy

(i) In general

An alien whose entry or proposed activities in the United States the Secretary of State has reasonable ground to believe would have potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences for the United States is inadmissible.

That applies during an immigration process, not after the person has a green card.

But also there is a higher law, the constitution. Federal law that is in conflict with the constitution is invalid. The constitution gives "due process" and "equal protection" to everybody, not just citizens. People can certainly be legally deported, it doesn't stop that. But they can only be legally deported with "due process". And in this case, there was no due process. The Trump administration just ignored the stay issued by the court. That single act turned America from a country under the rule of law into a fascist state. You are living in fascism now.

Some people hate foreigners so much they are willing to destroy the entire foundation their country is built upon just to prove it.

The rule of law went out the window about 20 million illegal border crossers ago.

Going to take some strong medicine to fix this problem.

I give zero fucks about making sure every last invented "right" of foreigners is respected.

The need to GTFO NOW.

Don’t worry, they’ll be doing it to natural-born citizens soon enough, too.

So a country built on immigrants is no longer a thing. Whether you are here permanently or temporarily, if you are here legally you have all the same rights. Deporting legal residents is against the law and against what makes America great.

Next they will say this is what they voted for.

I agree with you.

Apparently that gets you in to trouble in many places now. In the States, as a vassal state, kinda makes sense in a way.

So, as long as I don't go I to that topic, I'll be fine? Good to know. Not that I'd be getting into that type of topics anyways πŸ€—

If they deported people who thought men are men and women are women, I'd be in bigg trouble, but this administration knows that's well, so I think I'll be okay... plus I'm Swedish and don't have an accent when I speak, and married to a citizen, so those things speak to being less noticable by deporters. 😎

We did get stopped once by border patrol, in mid November, between Phoenix and Kingman Az, and some lady came walking up on the side of our van, knocking on it or something and kinda yelling/hollering in Spanish, and we were both like, excuse me, what are you saying?!

She ended up looking at my greencard like a week after I recieved it,and then they let us go. Oh and some male voice had asked what was in the back, and my husband answered Solarpanels, cause we had a stack inside,as well as a bunch on top, with a CA license plate.

Now our van is incognito without solar panels, and with a local license plate 😎

You're bragging about how you're in a better position than other people, like you won't be targeted in the future too

No, I'm actually pointing out that depending on who is in charge, different things are considered deportable offenses. It used to be by calling a man a man, but now apparently it's about being negative aniit Israel. I'm more aligned with the current administration, so that's why I feel safer right now.

But I do think there is a difference in how one conducts themselves as well. A greencard isn't citizenship, and they have the right to revoke it. If I leave the country for more than 6 months, I risk losing it. If I don't ask for permission to be out of the country for a specific reason and leave for 2 years, it's automatically canceled.

I can't vote, and I still need to adhere to American laws.

A marriage greencard means I only need to wait 3 years before I can become a citizen, while it's 5 years for all other greencards.

The current Administration doesn't want people here who don't like America, but I do like America, so yes, I feel safer, but I'm not bragging.

Maybe I misread you. I'll take your word for it that you're not bragging. I hope you continue to be safe.

Some woman was deported to ES for criticizing Israel. What’s her name? This sounds like BS

The dude from Columbia University who criticized Israel may be deported after a court said Trump could.
