This is not normal. He did not commit a crime. Everyone in these borders has first amendment rights specifically to prevent the government from just declaring some people non citizens and oppressing them.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Don't you understand?! 1st amendment only applies to things that align with the Trump party agenda.
That's what makes America the most free country of all.

His wife is a US citizen and he has a green card by the way. This is how it starts, first they were deporting illegal immigrants with a criminal record, now its anyone pro-Palestine. How long until its anyone that voted Democrat?
Centrists suddenly dislike retaliation against anti-genocide protesters at Columbia.
Give it a few hours and both sides will be the same again
Secretary of State Marc Rubio also shared an article about Khalil on Sunday night and posted on X, "We will be revoking the visas and/or green cards of Hamas supporters in America so they can be deported."
Everyone regardless of immigration status has free speech rights in the US. Rubio is bragging about pissing and shitting on the Constitution. They cannot use immigration to suppress free speech, obviously. This guy needs to released by the courts immediately or American free speech is a complete farce.
I’m a us citizen who has not been living in the US for years. I’m going back to visit my family this October and I’m honestly a bit scared.
I would get your family out of America. People downplaying this are willfully ignorant. Maga pretending it's all hysterics are wrong, tankies pretending this is business as usual because "America bad" are wrong.
All the groundwork is laid to mass imprison and deport dissidents, the definition of dissident is widening, we are witnessing a complete lack of checks and if your last hope is violence from the populace or the military to fix this then I think Americans need to trust their gut and recognize this place isn't worth staying
Too bad my dad voted for and loves Trump.
But if things got really bad, my mom could relocate to where I am, my dad might consider it if things were really really bad.
It really depends on where. Southern states and cities are seeing more "enforcement". Some northern and more liberal states are fighting things. Outside of the cities I have not seen any ICE but I'm also not one of the targeted groups.
If you really are worried carry your passport.
I’m white, so totally not a targeted group. But it’s not just ice, it’s everything the US has become. Including the violence. Currently I live in a pretty peaceful place.
Do not rely on your whiteness or port of entry to give you a false sense of security. Currently a German citizen apprehended in CA and a British citizen apprehended in WA are both being held indefinitely.

It's unacceptably bad but at the same time not an issue. I realize that sounds crazy but unless you join a protest or live in or frequent a targeted community then you would think nothing changed.
This is why we don't have mass protests yet because it's not actually breaking out of the media sphere for most of America.

The internet really is not a good representation of the US when it comes to day to day life for 'normal' people.
Other than office gossip, the effects of our shitty leadership hasn't effected the lives of everyone. Its more of a storm off in the distance that casts a big shadow as it randomly electrocutes people here and there. But still far away that you can't see it happen, but you can hear it happen.
