Where in the op-ed did she violate any of those?

It does, though, at least from the government. It does not mean freedom of consequences from private entities.

But I am in support of removing this person from the country as I do not believe a non-citizen deserves all of the rights afforded by the Constitution.

They absolutely should have all the rights. That's what makes this America.
However, the government does have a right to kick you out if you are on a visa. People get turned back at airports. Even with green cards.

This is no different. They should have just revoked her visa, and have her self deport or arrested for violating her visa.

Thank you for clearly showing that you didn't actually read what she wrote.

Just so I'm clear on my own positions, the government has every right to decide to allocate or rescind visas as they see fit. There is not a single person on a visa in this country who deserves one just because they "should".

But using this article - which is in regards to a handful of useless resolutions passed by a student senate in a university that doesn't have any significance or meaningful contribution to the country - as justification for secret-policing this student is absolutely absurd, and should make every single poster on this forum sick. Put down the partisan goggles and think objectively and critically.

That then means that they do not have the right of the 1st Amendment. Ridiculous argument.

Here is what she wrote that led to this arrest. Let's not take the media's words for it, just read it yourself. Hardly a controversial article.

When did they say that article is what led to the arrest?

Arrested for protesting and writing op-eds for Palestine when in the US on a student visa.

When you are in the US as a student, be a student. You don't have citizen rights to protest and make a pest of yourself.




Legals have rights. The 1st Amd is one of them.
Then the leftists will have no trouble at all finding some random Obama appointee judge to stop her expulsion.



That's really not the point. The fact that this happened to her in the first place is completely un-American.
Americans kicked the Brits out for less.

As the Trump administration continues to crackdown on alleged pro-Hamas agitators on college campuses across the country, foreign students hiding from immigration authorities are adopting another legal strategy suing before they are even arrested.
Quote:

Two foreign students Yunseo Chung of Columbia University and Momodou Taal of Cornell University are both wanted by federal immigration authorities. While neither have surrendered or been caught by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, both individuals have sued the Trump administration to put a halt to enforcement actions against them. In Chung's case, she successfully requested a court to block her arrest at least temporarily.
Point being here, they already know they are being deported. Given the chance to self deport, obviously.

Quote:

"This action challenges the government's shocking overreach in seeking to deport a college student, Plaintiff-Petitioner Yunseo Chung, who is a lawful permanent resident of this country, because of her protected speech," Chung's lawyers stated in a lawsuit filed Monday against the Trump administration. "The government's actions are an unprecedented and unjustifiable assault on First Amendment and other rights, one that cannot stand basic legal scrutiny."
Yeah right.

America use to be better than that. Now legal foreigners are whisked away to the American gulag, a private prison in Louisiana. NYSE: GEO Buy now.
Oh FFS, if you're a visitor to our country and you are openly supporting a terrorist group and/or harassing Jews then it's time to GTFO. She decided to FAFO and is currently sitting in a Louisiana facility experiencing the FO stage. Hope there are many many more to come.


That's a lie.

There is no evidence she supported a terrorist group of harassed Jews.

Yep. How quickly we forget these pro=Palestine groups intimidating Jewish students on campus and even being locked in libraries.



But if you want to continuing rationalization with a group of people who shout "From the River to the Sea" for the annahilation of the Jewish state, consider yourself an enabler.

I could not imagine getting permission to go to another country to study or whatever it is and acting like this. Of course they do this here because they think they can get away with it. And they could the last four years. I think they're starting to understand they can't anymore.

Truly, they are just vile scum.

The government needs to provide more evidence of her crimes. If this op-ed is her crime, which is a view expressed by many Americans and scholars even, this is horse*****

The first amendment is a constraint on the US government and applies to everyone physically within the US. The most powerful entity in the world should follow due process. Conservatives should know this!

This is an egregious level of escalation even I did not expect this soon. This is something you'd see out of China or Russia. Even if there was no arrest, revoking a visa for speech is unbelievable. An Op-Ed? A F-ING OP-ED?!!. This is a law abiding resident who expressed an opinion. I DONT CARE that visas can be revoked for any reason. They shouldn't be revoked for free speech. It's so obvious they want to do this to citizens but don't have the power yet. I can see them attempting it soon though.

You can't be arrested for speech.
You can be arrested, and your VISA cancelled for other unlawful activities.
Happens all the time.

If you accept the premise that she has no right to voice an opinion and the decision to revoke her visa, it would still be the easiest thing in the world to contact her and tell her she no longer has a visa and she has 24 hours or 7 days or whatever to leave the country. This scholar who has been accused of nothing but having an opinion getting ambushed and kidnapped off the street by dudes in hoodies and masks is thuggish terror tactics meant to intimidate anyone who speaks against Israel.
We only have the Boston Globes side of the story. Hardly unbiased.

Also the left: "Ehrmegerd the federal officer was wearing a mask!"

That being said, if that op-ed is all she did and I don't think that's enough to deport her. Something tells me that isn't everything.

That is what makes America different though. It is what makes us exceptional.

We are the only country on earth where anyone can make a political viewpoint and still be free.
The government cannot arrest anyone simply because of their speech. They need to have a valid reason other than speech to deport her.

And yes, I'm holding Trump to a different standard than Democrats - because they have no standard at all.

Not just Israel but anything. These people are guest in this country. Guests do not come into someone's home and squabble with their host's family. Same applies here. These people are paid activists and state operatives. Don't fool yourself into thinking they are anything other.

The media and my Liberal FB friends are trying to tell us that all this lady did was co-author an article complaining about what Tufts University is invested in.

Remember (speaking of Turkey) these are the same folks who introduced "bone saw" into the lexicon.

What did she really do? Who knows?

But, you don't have to look very far to see that there were people pushing for a "Week of Rage" for the 1 year anniversary of the Oct. 7th attacks in Israel.
https://www.boston.com/news/education/2024/10/07/tufts-suspends-pro-palestinian-student-group-citing-violent-imagery-and-language/

Could she have been one of those organizers?
https://instagr.am/p/DA03HdPptrK

Oh, and the "masked" agents narrative. Why aren't they wearing masks in the surveillance video when they confront her?

This sounds like your typical lefty press anti-Trump nonsense.

Oh, and they're also touting the fact that the "prison" in Louisiana is a private for-profit prison. Just to amp up the anti-Trump hate a little.

We have a lot of posters who don't seem to understand the constitution or the bill of rights. If you are a US citizen and living in the US go ahead and write an article in support of Hamas. I think you are misguided but it's your constitutional right. If you are in the US on a student visa you don't have rights a US citizen has. Keep your mouth shut and do the work you wanted to do. If you write an article supporting a terrorist organization you will be deported. Why is this such a hard concept to understand????
