“Following my previously signed Executive Orders, ICE proudly apprehended and detained Mahmoud Khalil, a Radical Foreign Pro-Hamas Student on the campus of Columbia University. This is the first arrest of many to come. We know there are more students at Columbia and other Universities across the Country who have engaged in pro-terrorist, anti-Semitic, anti-American activity, and the Trump Administration will not tolerate it. Many are not students, they are paid agitators. We will find, apprehend, and deport these terrorist sympathizers from our country – never to return again.”
“If you support terrorism, including the slaughtering of innocent men, women, and children, your presence is contrary to our national and foreign policy interests, and you are not welcome here. We expect every one of America’s Colleges and Universities to comply. Thank you!” posted convicted felon President Trump on Monday, the first public announcement on what happened to Khalil.
Again, whether Khalil was one of the “Genocide Joe” pieces of shit matters far less than the implications going forward. Next it could be Ukrainians, anti-Putin Russians, or even Chinese dissidents. However this still has to get past a judge and we’ll see how it goes.
