A federal judge on Tuesday ordered the Trump administration to halt its efforts to arrest and deport a 21-year old Columbia University student who participated in pro-Palestinian demonstrations until the court says otherwise.
The administration has been seeking to arrest the student, Yunseo Chung, since earlier this month, according to a lawsuit filed by Ms. Chung’s lawyers.
The judge, Naomi Buchwald, said during a hearing on Tuesday that “nothing in the record” indicated that Ms. Chung posed a danger to the community or a “foreign-policy risk” or had communicated with terrorist organizations.
Ms. Chung is a legal permanent resident. She was not a prominent participant in demonstrations on Columbia’s campus; she was arrested along with several other students this month at a protest at Barnard College, the Manhattan university’s sister school.
ILLEGAL immigrants… let’s not confuse the two. I know your side is great at doing that. This isn’t about “who I like” it’s about enforcing the law. Just because you hold a card, or a “status” as some kind of immigrant, it doesn’t mean your immune to deportation. If the government deems you’ve abused your status, they can deport, just like any other government from any other country in the world. The reason we’re in this mess is because of people like you, that want all these rights and privileges given to non-citizens, so that it gets tied up for YEARS, and those illegal immigrants end up in the system…literally, with nothing happening. Next thing you know, they’re being deported and the left starts crying.
Lol okay, keep not understanding. You aren’t putting together that rescinding rights guaranteed to people means that all you need to do is claim that somebody is in that group that doesn’t get rights and they no longer have rights to things like a trial. I could literally just call you an illegal immigrant and you’d never get the opportunity to prove otherwise because you wouldn’t have the right to anymore.
As for the “ILLEGAL immigrants” thing, there’s a difference between civil offenses and criminal offenses. If you don’t even know that, then idk where you get off thinking you get to lecture anybody about how laws work. I’m sorry to say that you’re just flat out fucking wrong about this. Quit parroting what partisan media is spoon-feeding to you and look shit up for yourself. They benefit by convincing you to accept the bullshit that they’re selling. Be more skeptical. Any time you see something on media, ask yourself who is benefiting from the message they’re sending out.
Your side is literally fighting with each other over electrical vehicles. You’re the last ones to give criticism.
Lol what? Idk what “news” story you’re referencing, but it’s entirely irrelevant here. Wildly pivoting to an entirely different topic like this is irrefutable proof that you’re wrong, have realized you’re wrong, and refuse to confront and admit that you’re wrong. This thread is also old now, so nobody is even following this anymore anyway. As such, any further engagement would be a total waste of my time, so I’m out.
Good luck figuring shit out. I don’t need to convince you; the future will do that for me.
