> An example is the horror that Mahmoud Khalil was detained illegally.

Oh, give me a *#$&*^$ing break. The fact is, is that if Mahmoud Khalil had honestly answered his application to come to this country and admitted to being a supporter of the international terrorist group Hamas - he would have never been allowed into the country to begin with.

Totally irrelevant. ICE illegally entered private property and made an illegal arrest. You are okay with that. You should fear that much more than you fear a terrorist group that does not operate in the US.

Like Al Qaeda, right? Just f-ing camels and beating women and children in the deserts of Afghanistan ... nothing to fear there, huh?

Wake up .... analyze your own bad arguments.

Hamas does not operate in the US. Al Qaeda did. You are the one with the bad argument here!

That's just untrue and stupidly so.

There are people who support Hamas here,

and there are groups who pull people in from

the public to demonstrate over stuff they don't

even know. When reporters go into those crowds

the people questioned tell them to go talk to the

sponsors because it is clear they are not there

because they understand the issues.

When Hamas also gets money funnelled from

NGOs in the US who do you think that is?

Al Qaeda didn't use camels, they used airplanes -- after a truck bomb didn't accomplish their goals. And Trump surrendered Afghanistan to them. Hamas does not operate in the US. YOU are the one with bad arguments.

All of those are irrelevant and emotional nonsense arguments. Hamas clearly operates in the US.

Exactly.

He is cherry picking to make a false declaration.

My point is this illegality shouldn't be a surprise.

Mahmoud' ls ethnicity alone gave ICE the excuse they were looking for.

And what cherry am I picking? Even if better to pick actual cherries than to make up reasons to cower in fear.

ICE detained him illegally. Period.

We will see. I detest Trump & Musk and the rest, but there is no sense in making a big scene over something that is essentially the right thing to do.

Warrantless searches and arrests without probable cause are NEVER the right thing to do unless you are working on establishing a totalitarian state, which you seem to be okay with.
