Timothy Snyder: "The federal government is undertaking to deport Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University graduate, on the grounds that as a student he led protests against the Israeli assault on Gaza. There is no accusation that Khalil committed a crime. He is being singled out, in what amounts to a test case for American authoritarianism as a whole, for the expression of his views.'

“This is the Trump administration desperate to meet the goals that it’s set to carry out its mass deportation agenda. But he’s having trouble reaching those numbers, because he doesn’t have the manpower and the infrastructure to actually rip away people who have years and years of life in our communities and are deeply entwined.” https://www.texasobserver.org/local-state-police-ice-287g-task-force/

Ice in the truck dock at work. The snow melts and freezes and melts and freezes and gets driven over by trucks. Until there's a big expanse of these fabulous textured ice shards

Deportation hurts families. Illegal immigration hurts nobody. And I mean that.

Members of the #Jewish community have taken over #Trump Tower in solidarity with #MahmoudKhalil, chanting, “We want justice! You say how? Bring Mahmoud home now!” They are also drawing parallels between Trump’s #ICE and #Hitler’s #Gestapo, condemning the intimidation tactics used against people.

Excerpt from the New York Times article: "ICE Returns All Migrants From Guantánamo to Stateside Facilities"

'Nearly 100 people were arrested after protesters gathered at #Trump Tower in Manhattan Thursday to denounce the arrest of #MahmoudKhalil, a Palestinian activist detained by #ICE over his involvement with pro-Palestinian demonstrations at Columbia University. The protest, organized by Jewish Voice for Peace, began shortly after noon when demonstrators dressed in red shirts that read “Not in our Name” & “Jews Say Stop Arming Israel,” crammed into the lobby'

Am I right in thinking that all the falsely detained Brits, Germans and Canadians recently reported have been women?

On Feb. 4, federal agents arrested a family that was seeking emergency treatment for their 10-year-old daughter’s brain cancer.

A ten year old girl recovering from brain cancer was deported to Mexico and prevented from attending her necessary follow up appointment

She was a U.S. citizen, but it didn’t matter.

The cruelty is the point.

I hope this sweet kiddo can access the care she needs to make a full recovery, and shame on those ICE agents who thought this was “ok”

This is why we speak out. Unspeakable horrors are happening all around us and if we stay silent, it will change us.

Don’t stay silent. Resist.

The mother of a Canadian woman illegally detained by ICE at the U.S. border wants to know when her daughter will be released.

The U.S. is not safe for anyone. Do not travel there.

“We eventually learned that about 30 people, including Jasmine, were removed from their cells at 3 a.m. and transferred to the San Luis Detention Center in Arizona. They are housed together in a single concrete cell with no natural light, fluorescent lights that are never turned off, no mats, no blankets, and limited bathroom facilities.”

#ICE Returns All Migrants From #Guantánamo Stateside

Trump's promise of mass #deportations a complete bust after wasting $16M of taxpayer money to capture & transport a total of 40 migrants he's now brought back to the US.

Congrats, MAGA.

ICE came for Khalil Mahmoud in retaliation for his political speech. We must speak out—or we’re next.

Tell your members of Congress that the government must immediately release Mahmoud Khalil, return him to his family, and stop violating the constitutional right to protest. https://indivisiblesf.org/call-scripts/2025/3/11/demand-immediate-release-political-prisoner

If you would like to help Mahmoud’s family, including his pregnant wife, with legal defense, you can donate on their Chuffed page. https://chuffed.org/project/justice-for-mahmoud-khalil
