Isn't he accused of helping to barricade the library (trespassing) and also of vandalism and destruction? Not just speech. Besides why should a non-American get the privilege of being a guest when he misbehaves and promotes Hamas?

If they had evidence of a crime he could have been charged with said crime. A White House official even said “the accusation here is not that he has a committed a crime.” He is being jailed for first amendment protected speech. The fact that he is a Green Card holder and not a citizen does not make him a more legitimate target for this. He’s a legal, permanent resident and he should not be subject to deportation without having committed a crime and being convicted under due process. Besides, any person on US soil has exactly the same speech rights as any citizen. If they can do it to him, they can do it to any of us. The Israelis on here may not understand it because they don’t live in a free and equal democracy, but in America this is antithetical to everything our country stands for. I think that’s the disconnect here, so many commenters aren’t even American.
Sure she did. ". . . he should not be deported without having committed a crime and being under due process." Admittedly the sentence is somewhat confusing but the implication is clear. And while it is true that criminal convictions can be the basis of deportation and are used therefor routinely, that is not the theory being deployed in the Khalil matter.

It is simply not true that the only way he can be deported is to be convicted of a crime.
That's not what she said.

So many here misbehave and support violence... just over there not over here.
No, he has not been accused of any of that.
