ICE Agents Arrest Palestinian Activist Who Leads the Columbia Protests
Another pro-terrorist foreign agent.
Federal immigration officials have arrested Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil, the leader behind pro-Hamas campus protests at Columbia University. ICE agents detained Khalil at his university-owned apartment, and he now faces potential deportation as part of President Trump's crackdown on radical campus unrest. Key Details: Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia Apartheid Divest leader, was arrested by ICE agents Saturday night at his university provided residence. He remains under federal custody, with his green card and visa potentially being revoked. Khalil led demonstrations that included materials reportedly sourced from Hamas and Hezbollah. President Trump has pledged to pull $400 million in federal funding from Columbia over its failure to curb anti-Semitic campus activism. Diving Deeper: Federal immigration authorities arrested Mahmoud Khalil, the Palestinian activist who spearheaded radical anti-Israel protests at Columbia University, in an overnight raid at his campus-adjacent apartment. Khalil, who completed his graduate studies at Columbia in December, is now facing potential deportation and the revocation of his visa and green card. Khalil's attorney, Amy Greer, confirmed the arrest Sunday, stating that ICE agents entered his university-owned residence a few blocks from Columbia's main campus and took him into custody. Despite no longer being a student, Khalil remained in school-provided housing under a university policy that allows students to stay post-graduation. His arrest comes amid an intensifying crackdown by the Trump administration on left-wing campus unrest, particularly at elite institutions where anti-Semitic rhetoric and violent demonstrations have surged. Khalil was a key leader in Columbia Apartheid Divest, a group at the forefront of protests that descended into chaos, including the recent seizure of Barnard College's Milstein Library. Videos from the protest showed Khalil using a bullhorn outside the library, where rioters distributed Hamas propaganda, including pamphlets justifying the October 7, 2023, massacre of Israeli civilians. Demonstrators also passed around images of deceased Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, killed in an Israeli airstrike last September.The people who scream about "backlash" are the first to stoke hatred of others. Happy Monday, everyone. I hope that you've all adjusted to Daylight Savings Time better than I have.

Oh, and he has a wife who is eight months pregnant, so expect a barrage of sob stories.
She can join him in progressive Algeria, where this "Palestinian" has citizenship.
He gave a speech in Montreal on October 7, 2024, celebrating the mass slaughter of Jews on the earlier October 7th.
He should have been denied entry back to the United States then.

"A top political columnist for The Washington Post resigned today, accusing Post chief executive and publisher Will Lewis of killing her column that criticized owner Jeff Bezos’s drive to overhaul the opinion pages to focus on his libertarian priorities.
Post columnist and Associate Editor Ruth Marcus, who has worked at the paper for four decades, says she can no longer stay there.
“Jeff’s announcement that the opinion section will henceforth not publish views that deviate from the pillars of individual liberties and free markets threatens to break the trust of readers that columnists are writing what they believe, not what the owner has deemed acceptable,” Marcus wrote in a resignation letter obtained by NPR."

Also, "amid an intensifying crackdown by the Trump administration on left-wing campus unrest". Is the admin cracking down on left-wing campus unrest, or just specifically anti-American (e.g. Nasrallah et al are explicitly anti-American), anti-Jew? Or is he also cracking down on pro-abortion, alphabet, etc. protests? I don't like the insinuation.

I can think the arrest may be wrong and enjoy this guy's departure at the same time. It's surprisingly easy. He helped Trump win through his stupid, short-sighted actions, and now he's paying the price.
He wanted Harris/Democrats to lose. He got what he wanted. If an Israeli or pro-Ukrainian protestor was actively working against the candidate who would help them/their country the most, I'd say the same.
These replies are unbelievable! They're cheering on a clearly illegal arrest and revocation of legal documents. What happens when they start doing this to DU members? Wake the fuck up!

Mahmoud Khalil: Trump Admin Doubles Down On Detaining Columbia Pro-Palestinian Activist—What We Know, March 10, 2025
In part, "Greer was told by ICE agents that Khalil had been detained because of orders from the State Department to revoke his student visa—which he doesn’t have, as he’s in the U.S. as a permanent resident—but when the lawyer said the activist was in the U.S. on a green card rather than a student visa, ICE agents said they would instead revoke his green card, Greer told the AP."
Greer's wife is pregnant.
"ICE records now show the activist is being detained at a facility in Jena, Louisiana."

Many people, and nearly all young ones, fervently believe that green cards mean you are forever a permanent legal resident. They misunderstand "permanent". A neighbor girl was stunned when an Asian friend with a green card returned to China (fled for his life , mind you) and after nearly 2 years was denied re-entry. That should be limited further. No princess, your friend was not "american".

Sorry, I may have worded that confusingly. I have no problem with cracking down on violent protests, and my issue was the news item. I didn't like the article's wording that seemed to imply the administration is just generally cracking down on left-wing protests, violent or not, potentially subjecting anyone to arrest.

I don't remember that. Was it only in certain regions of the country that they tried permanent DST?
wiki: "Congress enacted a trial period of year-round DST, beginning January 6, 1974, and ending April 27, 1975.The trial was hotly debated. ...
Over three months from December to March, public support dropped from 79% to 42%. ... The act was amended in October 1974 to return to standard time for four months, beginning October 27, 1974, and ending February 23, 1975, when DST resumed. When the trial ended in October 1975, the country returned to observing summer DST."

I saw some X thing that responded to Musk's crie de coeur about random judges shutting down presidential orders.
It said, "Musk learns about US constitution."
I wondered where, in the text of the Constitution, it says that the judiciary has any authority over the machinations of the executive branch.

I'd prefer if there were no new immigration applicants for a generation or two to see if we can stabilize the culture in the meantime (not too dissimilar to the massive lull in immigration from the 1930's - 1965), but sure, if we must let immigrants in, we need to actually do real background checks.
Like when my buddy applied to be a cop, cops from that town came and interviewed former co-workers (me), former landlords, former neighbors. Checked with the college he went to to make sure he actually graduated. Etc. etc.
If we can do that for small town police department hiring processes, I think it's only fair to do that for people applying for Visa's to the US on their way to citizenship.

Not my area of expertise, but you have something like 6 months after youre done with school before your student visa is revoked and youre "out of status"
So the universities play all kinds of games with that, including applying for visas on students behalf and giving them jobs at the university. Or signing them up for another degree, or whatever.
Simultaneously, those people apply for the H1B lottery and/or O1 visas or whatever their lawyer thinks they have their best shot at scamming their way in to.

Some people, especially old people, can get talked into anything.
Like, call them up, tell them you're from the bank, inform them that there's an emergency and they need to go to the local branch and take out all of their cash. And then they need to go this other ATM and follow these instructions to put the money into their protected account.
Which is not their account. It's the scammers account.
And the bank won't do anything to fix it because...the old person authorized every step of the series of transactions.

That's unlikely to curry positive reviews from the passengers.

There's also a certain mental bias that people wouldn't lie about outrageous things, so they call with really over the top stuff. That's why the "the sheriff is coming to arrest you now" gets far better results than "there was a mistake and you owe $5000 in back taxes".

Making all long haul passengers eat a course of MREs prior to their flight would end that problem.

Because the Indians running these companies want to improve their dating pool. And/or stage their own small-scale Great Replacement.
All I know is everyone's software has gotten noticeably worse since mass Indian H1Bs started. Microsoft, Apple, Facebook, Amazon, you name it.

Except that Eratosthenes was measuring the circumference through the Poles (north-south), not the circumference at the Equator (east-west), which would have been the relevant measurement in Columbus' case.

But even so the Nigerian price scams have been around for 25 years. Someone who is 75 or 80 today was in his 50s when e-mail and texts and mobile phones became commonplace.
That’s what I mean. It’s not like this all happened yesterday. Today’s retirees have lived with modern tech and accompanying scams for decades. Why are they falling for them now once retired?

They do that too. Microsoft has massive campuses in India.
The usual progression is -- Pajeet works at Microsoft in the US. He tells his bosses his cousin owns a programming shop in India, everyone there is really talented, and they're much cheaper than these shitty American co-workers he has.
Pajeet's cousin and his friends get hired to do contract work for Microsoft. They eventually get hired at Microsoft India.
Pajeet then convinces his bosses that the time difference between US and India causes too many bottlenecks. These guys are really good programmers, but they'd be better and faster working from the US. Plus, they're underrepresented minorities and will help hit the diversity goals that HR keeps talking about.
Microsoft sponsors their H1B (or O1 or whatever) visas. Some come over. Rinse / repeat until Microsoft is basically an Indian run company.

Some people, especially old people, can get talked into anything.
Like, call them up, tell them you're from the bank, inform them that there's an emergency and they need to go to the local branch and take out all of their cash. And then they need to go this other ATM and follow these instructions to put the money into their protected account.
Which is not their account. It's the scammers account.
And the bank won't do anything to fix it because...the old person authorized every step of the series of transactions.

One time a few years ago I walked in on my mother having a phone conversation. I asked who it was and she said something like, "Medicare. They're calling to ask if I want a back brace." Words to that effect.
I grabbed the phone out of her hand and hung it up. Then I lectured her...yes, I lectured my 70+ year old mother...about Medicare fraudsters and how Medicare doesn't do outbound calls. I was pretty pissed. But yeah, you hit a certain age an common sense just kind of departs.

Also not reported:
It wasn't the smell that alerted the crew.
It was the second river of shit running down the aisle.
It was not a Ganges II flight.

I think our brains just stop working as well as we get older. Combine that with going from using your brain all the time (working) to not using your brain at all (playing pickleball and watching fox news all day) and I think you just... start to lose it a bit.
I don't know though, I'm no neurologist. I've just witnessed this enough in my family and with my friends families that I have to imagine that's what is going on.
Alternative hypothesis: all the drugs old people are on may cause some of these issues.

Because the scammers try 10,000 variations until they hit on one that works sometimes. Which doesn't answer your question and yet it does. Every system has a weak point.
