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.
And the vice president of the United States will tweet in your defense.
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.
Now, Trump chose to begin by disappearing a Palestinian immigrant, hoping that his place of birth and his immigrant status would just cause people to look the other way.
But we cannot.
Because once it becomes normal for the regime to disappear, people simply for protest against the regime's policies, once a citizen or a resident of America can be locked away with no charges against them simply because they protested.
There is no going back for America.
Even if you're a hardened Trump supporter, this practice should cross the line for you.
Even if you disagree with Khalil's views, this practice should cross the line for you.
This has nothing to do with supporting Trump.
This is about supporting an American value.
Maybe the most important American value, protecting free speech, even if it's speech you disagree with.
If our new reality is that a president can disappear, an opposition protester with no charge that's filed against them, we are not America any longer.
