The #Trump admin has detained #ColumbiaUniversity student & #GreenCard holder #MohsenMahdawi a #Buddhist #Palestinian committed to #nonviolence because he advocated on behalf of Palestinian #HumanRights.
Mahdawi became a focus of attacks from a member of #Congress & #Zionist groups like Canary Mission & Betar. Guess we know where the deportation lists are coming from.

Team Trump Is Gaming Out How to Ship #USCitizens to #ElSalvador
Trump officials are talking internally about #denaturalizing #AmericanCitizens — and potentially sending some to #ElSalvador
By Nikki McCann Ramirez, Asawin Suebsaeng, Andrew Perez - April 12, 2025
"Donald #Trump and his White House have moved to deport #GreenCard holders for espousing #ProPalestinian views, shipped hundreds of #migrants to a notorious #Salvadoran #MegaPrison without due process (in defiance of a judge’s order), and are now publicly musing about sending United States citizens to prison in El Salvador.
"Trump said last weekend he would 'love' to send American criminals there — and would even be 'honored' to, depending on 'what the law says.' White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed this week that the president has discussed this idea privately, too, adding he would only do this 'if it’s legal.'
"El Salvador’s president, #Nayi Bukele, has for months been offering to hold U.S. citizens in his country’s prison system, which he has turned into 'a judicial black hole' rife with 'systematic #torture,' as one #HumanRights advocate recently told Rolling Stone.
"Legal experts agree that sending American citizens to prison in El Salvador would be flagrantly illegal under both U.S. and international law — and that the idea itself is shockingly #authoritarian, with few parallels in our nation’s history.
"The Trump administration is indeed discussing this idea behind the scenes, two sources familiar with the matter confirmed to Rolling Stone. In their most serious form, these conversations have revolved around attempting to denaturalize American citizens and deport them to other countries, including El Salvador.
" 'You can’t deport U.S. citizens. There’s no emergency exception, there’s no special wartime authority, there’s no secret clause. You just can’t deport citizens,' says Steve Vladeck, a legal commentator and law professor at Georgetown.
" 'Whatever grounds they try to come up with for denaturalization or #expatriation, the one thing that is absolutely undeniable is that people are entitled to individualized processes, before that process can be effectuated.'
"In the United States, the grounds to strip a naturalized individual of their citizenship encompass serious material offenses. They include: committing #treason or #terrorism, enlisting in a foreign military engaged in opposition to the United States, or lying in applications for citizenship or as part of the naturalization process."

It's the #Gaza protesters apologizing for #Hamas, a designated terrorist organization in the #UnitedStates, that puts their government sponsorship student visa or #greencard in jeopardy.
You are not entitled to your own facts or to use your own facts in support of a designated terrorist organization..
You travel to (A) country to work in a Government sponsored program.
The Government decides to kick you out of the program and send you home because you speak out against the government.
This is a violation of the first amendment but because you are not a full citizen of the country you are traveling to work in, the sponsor of your program can decide you don't qualify to stay for ANY reason. That is work or student sponsorship in the #unitedstates.

#woke #Trump’s #SecretPolice Are Stalking More and More Students
We are at that point when one can consider that travelling to the #USA if you're not #WASP and wealthy, is highly dangerous. And also remaining in the US if you are only on #visa or #greencard also puts you at high risk of being simply disappeared on a pure whim, by zealote officers of a heavily #racist, #xenophobic and #authoritarian #dictatorship . The USA are not a #democracy anymore. You can't trust it.

#Immigration ofcls also detained #Palestinian activist & #Columbia graduate #MahmoudKhalil – a #GreenCard holder – earlier this month in front of his pregnant wife, Noor, a US citizen. Other students detained by immigration ofcls include #BadarSuri, an Indian postdoctoral fellow at #Georgetown University, after #DHS accused him of having ties to Hamas.
In recent wks, federal authorities have detained a handful of other #university #students & #researchers – including #GreenCard holders – who have expressed #Palestinian solidarity amid #Israel’s deadly war on #Gaza. Earlier this week, 30-yr-old #RumeysaOzturk, a Turkish doctoral student at #Tufts University, was detained by masked federal ofcls in dramatic footage that has caused widespread outrage.
%“But with Ozturk’s case—a brazen state #abduction in daylight, on video…it feels like a new threshold has been crossed.
When the gov rolls up on a young 
on the streets wi/no charges, no warning, no transparency, how else can you describe it?
It doesn’t matter if you have a #greencard a #visa or, maybe, any legal status at all.
Each new case is pushing the limits of the #law & the #trump admin has already made it clear it doesn’t care if the #courts try to 
what it’s doing.”
Musky got the FAA contract. Good for him. He will make it great. Just like Tesla is great. I “ bought “ a new red one. I like red. Red square is very pretty this time of year. My hats are red. My tie is red. My eyes are red. Is America great yet?

"U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, or USCIS, which oversees naturalization and immigration, earlier this month proposed requesting social media names from people in the U.S. who apply for asylum, permanent residency, or naturalization, expanding a policy that used to only target people living abroad applying for visas.
The proposal references Trump’s day-one executive order laying the groundwork for a new Muslim travel ban, which also asked federal agencies to identify immigrants in the U.S. who hold “hostile attitudes” toward the government.
The shift would affect an estimated 3.5 million people per year — some of whom have lived in the U.S. for decades."
