They never defended the constitutionality of this speech. Nor would they have intervened to stop the deportation of someone like Tall if Cornell decided to revoke his status, right? Right, yeah. I don't think the Biden administration or a Kamala Harris administration would be directing these universities to take that action themselves.
Nor would they be, I think, revoking student visas at scale like this. No. But they would have let ICE do the stuff that ICE does if universities themselves elect to remove student visas or unenroll these students. And like a degree of the complacency here is placed on the actual university administrations, the university staff who have been vilifying these protesters for the past two years.

Basically, anything you say that's critical of the Israeli government, its actions in Gaza, are being interpreted by the Trump administration as anti-Semitism and support for the October 7th massacre. This is a false equivalency. What the government alleges should not be automatically taken as the truth.

Correct. No matter what they're saying, no matter if they have opinions on Hamas that differ from ours, no matter what they are saying at a campus protest, it should not result in ICE targeting them and hunting them down and forcing students who attend sit-in protests into hiding to defend their own rights and to keep their green cards.
