Starting now, the right wing and some of their Democrat establishment enablers will defame Palestinian American Columbia student Mahmoud Khalil as he remains missing after a White House directed ICE deportation order. A "dangerous" negotiator co leading a non violent protest. A permanent resident with a wife who is 8 months pregnant. Without any trial. If we don't all work to reverse this and end this, you're eventually next. No matter who you are.

NEW: Columbia has begun notifying faculty of cancelled grants. From an internal source there: “Grant cancellation notices flowing in now. Labs shutting down. Layoffs imminent. Faculty apoplectic at Katrina Armstrong for letting it get to this point. She has to fix this fast.”

The Columbia deportation case is bad enough on its own — but the precedent is worse. People can be deported without breaking a law because of a vague reference to foreign policy.

As a Jew I personally will feel a lot safer walking across the Columbia campus knowing that there are fewer graduate students toiling away in labs to cure cancer and drug addiction.

NEWS: Last night, DHS detained a Palestinian who helped lead Columbia encampment. Agents told him his visa was revoked. He said he had a green card. They were confused—then said that was revoked too. His attorney demanded a warrant. Agents hung up instead.zeteo.com/p/breaking-dhs-det…

ADL has been engaging directly with @Columbia and @BarnardCollege leadership and campus for months now — just yesterday I went to campus to meet firsthand with Jewish students and heard stories of harassment and intimidation. I saw the Hamas propaganda literally handed out by masked hoodlums. It’s appalling. Over the past 18 months, these institutions have not effectively addressed the rot of antisemitism. That’s why they scored so poorly on @ADL's recent Campus Antisemitism Report Card. Its abominable to see how a minority of malevolent students, radicalized faculty and outside agitators have hijacked the school and diverted it away from its core purpose, preventing everyone else from studying, learning and working. I appreciate how the administration has tried to deescalate and support the whole community, but these bad actors don’t want community; they want conflict. They don’t want dialogue; they want disruption. They don’t want to talk with their Jewish peers; they prefer to terrorize them. None of this is normal. It's time for change. Columbia needs to adopt an anti-masking policy as Barnard has done. Both schools need to ensure their public safety officers have the power to handle the haters. More active collaboration with the DA and SDNY can ensure that offenders face not just more severe on-campus discipline, but real-world consequences for breaking the law. Finally, Columbia has an outdated model of governance. It doesn’t work. It’s time for a complete overhaul so that the adults can take charge. In light of all this, we at ADL appreciate the Trump Administration's efforts to counter campus antisemitism. Using the power of the purse can be effective in prompting change when it hits the right targets. We look forward to learning more about the cancelled grants to ensure they target the sources of antisemitism - and to seeing Columbia take meaningful action to earn their reinstatement by standing up to those individuals who are hurting the rest of the community. thefp.com/p/exclusive-trump-…
