How able Trump keep a Hamas supporter in his custody? Oh, and kindly remove the elderly woman who is praying outside the pregnancy room.
The Left has placed itself in yet another strange place, this time by backing Mahmoud Khalil, a Arab graduate student from Columbia who has been held by ICE for his part in recent college protests.
The standard X accounts for Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee also expressed similar views, according to the ACLU.
The president’s “lack of lucidity” on the subject led to Khalil’s detention, according to the center-right free speech organization FIRE. However, at least FIRE recognizes that immoral do has also been a part of what has occurred at Columbia.
Since October 7, 2023, The College Fix has covered a lot of the former at Columbia, most recently when at least two employees were assaulted, the tower was vandalized, and a professor was held prisoner.
Pro-Hamas demonstrators gathered in a class on Jewish history in January to distribute flyers depicting the Star of David’s destruction.
The University of Delaware’s Micki Burdick reminds us that abortion clinics, or “reproductive wellness clinics,” also need protection from those who would worship inside them as pro-Hamas activists on several campuses have frequently crossed the line between simple expression and harsh conduct.
The Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act is as crucial as ever, according to Burdick ( pictured ), a professor of women’s and gender studies who uses the pronoun” they/them” and “uses a reproductive justice framework to explore medical systems, reproductive technologies, and reproductive politics” in” their” research.
The FACE Act, according to Burdick, “prohibites the use of force or menace toward individuals trying to obtain or give reproductive health services.” It was established to restrict the anti-abortion group’s tactics used outside clinics, requiring that protesters cannot actually stop patients from entering and receiving treatment.
The actual law states that it is against the law for protesters to “physically obstruct” access to abortion clinics and to “intimidate” ( potential ) clients.
Burdick claims that the pro-life organization Operation Rescue used to “hold up signs with photographs of aborted babies to scare people into leaving the clinic” in” their” features of the FACE Act’s significance. Additionally, it’s users” sat or laid ] down in front of centers, using their bodies to actually deter people from entering.”
Those appear to be very peaceful protests, especially in light of what has been happening on college campuses regarding the Israel-Hamas war.
Since Oct. 7, 2023, how many “die-ins” had prevented access to university houses? How some pro-Hamas protesters have displayed signs or other objects that depict battle images?
The Left praised those as quiet emotions protected by the First Amendment, despite being much different from the protests that many anti-abortion activists have attended. The Biden presidency also detained the latter and incarcerated them.
But, please give me another example of the big deal with the current administration using different laws to apprehend and arrest Mahmoud Khalil for activities that go beyond those of pro-life activists.
If your values conflict with yours, current leftists won’t care if yours are based on your beliefs. Simply take a look at the recent legislative activity in Maine.
Colleges have been frantically trying to deal with the monster they have created over the past month and a half. The same officials, academics, and student organizations that complained about” healthy spaces,” “microaggressions,” and “hurtful speech” and created “language guides” — all of which squelched talk simply because of politicians— are now concerned about free appearance and its limitations.
Weird.
