Here's the excellent three pager -- and a bit:
. . .Ms. Chung, a 21-year-old lawful permanent resident and junior at Columbia University, faces arrest and detention by the U.S. government because of her protected speech, pursuant to Defendants’ policy of targeting noncitizen students and academics across the country for actual or perceived speech in favor of Palestinian human rights or criticizing the Israeli government’s military campaign in Gaza or U.S. support for that campaign.
Since Ms. Chung filed her complaint, Defendants have continued their unconstitutional policy of targeting noncitizens for such speech. Hours after this Court issued a temporary restraining order preventing Ms. Chung’s arrest and detention, ICE agents arrested Rümeysa Öztürk, a Tufts University doctoral student, for co-authoring an op-ed in a student newspaper about the university administration’s response to student senate resolutions concerning Palestine and divestment from Israel. ICE whisked Ms. Öztürk across several states to Louisiana where she has been detained since. And on April 14, 2025, ICE agents arrested Mohsen Mahdawi, a U.S. permanent resident of Palestinian descent, in Vermont after he completed his citizenship interview.
The government has invoked the same grounds of removability against Mr. Mahdawi as it has against Ms. Chung. Meanwhile, the minor charges against Ms. Chung flowing from her March 5, 2025 arrest have been dismissed, and she is in good standing at Columbia University. Nevertheless, Defendants have moved to dismiss her complaint. . . .
Noem/Miller/Rubio/Trump. These names will echo in eternity -- with the likes of Joe McCarthy, J. Edgar Hoover -- and dare I say it? Yep: Mussolini, Goebbels, Göring and yes. . . old 'Dolph hssssself. Out.
