Well, "trouble-stirring Jew hater," was obviously my characterization of their attitude, not a court-approved definition of legal policy. Christ on Quaaludes. And thanks for the link. Napolitano's statement, "A New York City college student who is a permanent resident alien now sits in jail in Louisiana because he spoke out in favor of a Palestinian state..." is clearly just hyperbole. Khalil did a lot more than innocently air his opinions. The question for me is whether or not his actions constitute reasonable cause for deportation, regardless of any legal justification. This article here kicks around the basics pretty well (though the site seems sympathetic to Israel):
And deportation laws being used to remove Jews, among many others, is ironic, but doesn't necessarily obviate using them later to deport anti-Semitic activists. It's definitely a good argument against these laws and government overreach in general, but Franke's quote is overly emotional. I'd read that Trump invoked the 'Alien Enemies Act of 1789' to deport Khalil. We don't need a Chris Hedges gotcha article to see the deeply flawed uses that one has received.
