He has deep animus toward Israel's policies and the U.S.
support for those policies.
He helped organize the protests over Gaza at his university last year.
You can disagree with his views or his politics, but there is no evidence he has broken any law.
But last weekend, Trump officials entered his apartment and took him into custody.
They brought him to a detention facility in New Jersey at first, but when his family went to visit him, he wasn't there.
For a while, his family and his lawyer had no idea where he was.
They eventually found out that he was being held in a detention facility in Louisiana, and that's where he still is today.
In dictatorships, they call this practice being disappeared.
No charges, no claims of criminal behavior.
The White House doesn't claim he did anything criminal.
He's in jail because of his political speech.
And here's why everybody should care.
In America, your political speech is protected, whether or not the president likes what you say.
But today, if you're loyal to Donald Trump, your speech is going to be protected, even if it's hate speech.
You can be Marco Ellis, an employee of Doge, who said he, quote, was racist before it was cool and, quote, normalize Indian hate.

But if you are disloyal to Trump or you're organizing against Trump's political agenda, your speech could be criminalized.
You could find yourself in jail.
