The third amendment to Mr. Khalil's complaint is now on file.
It updates with newly discovered (and hideous) information -- on the Trump/Rubio/Noem campaign to suppress protected speech, using arrests and abductions by ICE / DHS without so much as a whiff of due process. But that was clear from the go, here:
. . .On March 13, 2025, when asked to justify the government’s actions, Troy Edgar, the Deputy Secretary of DHS, did not dispute that Mr. Khalil had not broken any laws and instead asserted that he was “agitating and supporting Hamas” by “put[ting] himself in the middle of the process of basically pro-Palestinian activity.” When asked directly if “any criticism of the Israeli government [is] a deportable offense,” if “any criticism of the United States [is] a deportable offense,” if “any criticism of the government [is] a deportable offense,” and if “protesting [is] a deportable offense,” Deputy Secretary Edgar did not dispute any of those statements. . . .
The [statutory] "Foreign Policy Bar" expressly prohibits the Secretary of State from issuing a policy to exclude or condition entry based on a noncitizen’s “past, current, or expected beliefs, statements, or associations, if such beliefs, statements, or associations would be lawful within the United States,” unless the Secretary personally certifies to Congress that admitting the individual would compromise a compelling U.S. foreign policy interest. See id. (citing INA § 212(a)(3)(C)(iii)).
Upon information and belief, Secretary Marco Rubio has not provided any certifications regarding a determination under the Foreign Policy Ground concerning Mr. Khalil to the chairs of the House Foreign Affairs, Senate Foreign Relations, and House and Senate Judiciary Committees, as required by 8 U.S.C. § 1182(a)(3)(C)(iv). . . .
This must be resisted. Peacefully, but firmly resisted. This is what. . . fascism looks like, in its early stages. Out.
