Even After Being Hauled Off To Louisiana Under Cover Of Darkness -- This Man Retains His First Amendment Right To Protest -- Unless DHS Can Muster Cogent Evidence Of Terrorist Ties [There Are None].

It should deeply concern even the most ardent defenders of Israel that Tangerine 2.0 grabbed a Columbia U. student leader -- under cover of night, and shipped him all the way down to Louisiana, without any opportunity for the hearing he was owed, before an immigration judge -- before being detained beyond forty-eight hours. He has a green card, and is married to a US citizen. This will not do. People who are free do not let even those they disagree with, and disagree vehemently with. . . be "disappeared". Nope.

No matter what Tangerine -- or Kristi Noem or Steven Miller or Elon Musk might think (or say), we do not jail dissidents without evidence here. And we do not deport them, either. This is a free nation. So, a pull quote from CNN, follows USDC Judge Furman's order of this evening:

. . .It is hereby ORDERED that counsel for all parties appear for a conference with the Court on March 12, 2025 at 11:30 a.m. in Courtroom 1105 of the Thurgood Marshall Courthouse, 40 Centre Street, New York, New York. Counsel must confer in advance of the conference and submit a joint letter, no later than March 11, 2025, at 5:00 p.m., indicating whether the conference is necessary and addressing how the Court should handle the present Petition. If counsel do not believe a conference is required, and that briefing is appropriate, counsel should propose a briefing schedule (expedited or otherwise) in the joint letter. To preserve the Court’s jurisdiction pending a ruling on the petition, Petitioner shall not be removed from the United States unless and until the Court orders otherwise.

See, e.g., Local 1814, Intern. Longshoremen’s Ass’n, AFL-CIO v. New York Shipping Ass’n, Inc., 965 F.2d 1224, 1237 (2d Cir. 1992) (“Once the district court acquires jurisdiction over the subject matter of, and the parties to, the litigation, the All Writs Act [28 U.S.C. § 1651] authorizes a federal court to protect that jurisdiction” (cleaned up)); Garcia-Izquierdo v. Gartner, No. 04-CV-7377 (RCC), 2004 WL 2093515, at *2 (S.D.N.Y. Sept. 17, 2004) (observing that, under the All Writs Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1651, a district court “may order that a petitioner’s deportation be stayed. . . when a stay is necessary to preserve the Court’s jurisdiction of the case”); cf. Michael v. I.N.S., 48 F.3d 657, 661-62 (2d Cir. 1995) (holding that the All Writs Act provides a federal court of appeals reviewing a final removal order with a basis to stay removal). . . .

[And, from CNN:]

. . .He was first brought to the Elizabeth Detention Center in Elizabeth, New Jersey before being transferred over the weekend to the Central Louisiana ICE Processing Center, also known as the Jena/LaSalle Detention Facility, three different migrant rights organizations in New York told CNN. The move, they say is designed to make Khalil’s defense and access to legal resources more difficult.

A spokesperson at the ICE New York Field Office told CNN the arrest was led by the department’s Homeland Security Investigations.

Although it’s not yet clear what he is being charged with, Khalil’s arrest appears to be among the first actions following Trump’s promise to deport international students who joined the protests against Israel’s war in Gaza across college campuses last year. Legal experts point out once there is an allegation the only person who has authority to revoke a person’s immigration status such as a student visa or green card is an immigration judge.

Green card holders have broad rights as legal residents of the United States, including the right to work and protection by all laws of the United States, the person’s state of residence and local jurisdictions. . . .

Now you know. This is getting to be a dangerous moment in US History -- not entirely unlike the red scares of the 1950s. Wake up people. Speak up. Speak up, now.
