My response is we're going to beat them on all fronts. We're going to beat them on the tariffs, which were economically catastrophic for our country and for the world and utterly destabilizing of world trade and also lawless and unconstitutional outside of the president's powers. We're going to beat them on his massive assaults on the rights of federal workers and the civil service.
And we're going to beat them in court and in the court of public opinion on their assaults on the due process rights of people in America, whether they're citizens or non-citizens. In other words, we can't ration justice here. And this is why we need all hands on deck and everybody needs to be fighting at every turn, every battle. And, you know, a victory for one is a victory for all.

I mean, it's totally scandalous situation with the assault on free speech. It is like the Alien and Sedition Act period of the late 1790s, where the attack on immigrants became an attack on people considered political enemies of the government dissidents.

In fact, there are a lot of Jewish student groups who are coming out very strongly and speaking up for her and Mahmoud Khalil and others who are the subject of outrageous criticism. government harassment and retaliation simply because of their speech. They wrote an op-ed, they appeared at a rally.

So it's very important as a matter of civil liberties for everybody to speak up for them.

Well, apparently some of these students who've been targeted by ICE for removal were first identified by various right-wing projects allegedly pursuing anti-Semitism. But, you know, on that understanding, you just identified...
