So because interportability is being argued on this foreign policy ground, I believe the administration is going to have to prove that his activities in the United States are in some way a threat to national security or to the U.S. 's foreign policy interests. The question is what they're going to point to to prove that. Like, is it going to be his involvement in campus protests?

As far as I know, he is not accused of any acts of violence, of like the occupations, any of that. In fact, I emailed the NYPD asking if he had any kind of like charges or if he had been arrested in connection with any of those events. And I didn't receive a response. But when I was covering these protests last spring, there was no mention of him as one of the people who had been arrested.
