Nationwide protests planned after arrest of former Columbia activist by immigration authorities

Mahmoud Khalil was taken into custody by immigration authorities last weekend, prompting outrage.

Nationwide protests are planned this weekend after Mahmoud Khalil, a former Columbia University student activist, was arrested by immigration authorities, fueling tensions between the Trump administration and student movements over immigration policy.

Khalil, 30, was taken into custody by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in the middle of the night last weekend, prompting outrage in recent days. Khalil, an Algerian citizen of Palestinian descent, helped lead pro-Palestinian demonstrations against the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas at Columbia University last spring.

Protests calling for his release will be held in cities including New York City, Boston, Phoenix, Charlotte, Oklahoma City, Miami and Indianapolis on Saturday and Sunday.

To justify Khalil's arrest, the Trump administration cited an obscure foreign-policy clause that allows the federal government to deport foreign nationals who are deemed national security threats. The Department of Homeland Security alleges that Khalil “led activities aligned to Hamas, a designated terrorist organization.”

By means of shrewd lies, unremittingly repeated, it is possible to make people believe that heaven is hell - and hell heaven. The greater the lie, the more readily it will be believed.

The receptivity of the masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan.

When Benjamin Franklin was asked what kind of government America would have, he said a republic if you can keep it.  People showing more support for a terrorist than the rule of law indicates he knew what he was saying.  It won't be that much longer now if Trump can't change all the damage done by Biden and Obama plus lesser democrats and rinos. **nononono*

Paid protesters with nice new T-shirts and fancy signage.    How organic.

You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

You and I can see that as well as most everyone here, but the masses miss it.  As Hitler noted in Mein Kampf, propaganda is always for the masses, never for the educated who will see things their own way.
Also, the message must never change as this article subtly demonstrates.  It is clearly support for the terrorist masquerading as news.
