Border czar: "Free speech has limitations"


Lawyers for Mahmoud Khalil, the Columbia University graduate detained by the Trump administration last weekend, have not been able to hold a private conversation with their client since his arrest.

That revelation came from a hearing in Manhattan federal court Wednesday, as lawyers for Mr. Khalil and the government appeared in front of a judge, Jesse Furman, to discuss Mr. Khalil’s detention, which has raised significant concerns about free speech protections amid President Trump’s immigration crackdown.

Mr. Khalil, a prominent figure in pro-Palestinian demonstrations on the Columbia University campus, was arrested by federal immigration agents in New York on Saturday and is being held at a facility in Louisiana. He has not been charged with any crime.

But the Trump administration has accused him of siding with terrorists, and justified his detention by citing an obscure statute that grants the secretary of state the power to declare that someone whose presence in the United States is “adversarial” to the country’s foreign policy and national security interests is subject to deportation.

Early Sunday morning, lawyers for Mr. Khalil filed a petition questioning the circumstances of his detention. They have asked Judge Furman to compel the government to return him to New York....

The left has worked hard to erase citizenship from America.
No they haven’t
The left demands that any third world tribesman has the same rights, privileges, and immunities as American citizens who have deep ties to the nation.
The constitution is what specifies this. Not the left.
Just part of the overall goal of the left to erase America as a nation.
You believe some really batshit stupid things.
