The article claims "U.S. law stipulates that an alien is deportable if he 'endorses or espouses terrorist activity or persuades others to endorse or espouse terrorist activity or support a terrorist organization.'" It further asserts that "The Syrian-born green-card recipient served as one of the ringleaders of the post-October 7 riots at his former university and functioned as the lead 'negotiator' for the student group known as Columbia United Apartheid Divest (CUAD). CUAD was one of the primary agents of chaos on Columbia’s campus during last spring’s 'encampment,' during which rioters smashed windows, defaced and occupied buildings, disrupted classes, and harassed and threatened Jewish students."

If this is true, then deport Khalil. QED.

He can't be gone too soon imo. I question why he was admitted in the first place. Catnip to Columbia.

He was approved by Columbia to act as a negotiator between administration and the encampment. Now, suddenly, they throw him under the bus. Why? Do you believe every green card holder should be deported for saying things you don't like? And what about him when he was admitted do you object to?

This is not about free speech Megan. It’s about his support for a designated terrorist organization called Hamas. The man was handing out Hamas printed literature for one.

Under Title 8 of US Deportation Law that in and of itself is grounds for deportation

Apologies to others who read my pervious comment which includes the following:

"U.S. law stipulates that an alien is deportable if he 'endorses or espouses terrorist activity or persuades others to endorse or espouse terrorist activity or support a terrorist organization.'" It further asserts that "The Syrian-born green-card recipient served as one of the ringleaders of the post-October 7 riots at his former university and functioned as the lead 'negotiator' for the student group known as Columbia United Apartheid Divest (CUAD). CUAD was one of the primary agents of chaos on Columbia’s campus during last spring’s 'encampment,' during which rioters smashed windows, defaced and occupied buildings, disrupted classes, and harassed and threatened Jewish students."

This is a more specific example of an exception to the First Amendment right to free speech than the dumb and inaccurate "shouting 'fire' in a crowded theater" example preferred by NPCs everywhere.

So you're a free-speech absolutist? Fine. But don't pretend there are no exceptions to the First Amendment right to free speech.

Yes.

You do know you have the right to yell “fire” in a crowded theater, right?

There are plenty of natural born citizens I wouldn't mind getting rid of too, truth be told.
