Mahmoud Khalil is Trump’s first political prisoner. They charged him with the “crime” of being antisemitic. There is no such crime. In America, you’re allowed to think or say anything you like. And they have no evidence he was antisemitic. He was arrested for criticizing Israel.

I’m joining 13 of my colleagues to demand that the Trump Administration immediately releases Mahmoud Khalil. Their illegal actions set a dangerous precedent. We cannot allow them to shred our constitutional rights to free speech and due process. Free Mahmoud Khalil. pic.twitter.com/G9YxBeDZvh

Donald Trump is now threatening to cut federal funding for schools that allow “illegal protests” and imprison “agitators.” This dangerous rhetoric undermines free speech and the right to protest — core principles of democracy and our constitutional rights. https://t.co/F6hhvRGUmE

If its not antisemitism when Columbia let alt right Nazis speak on its campus, but somehow is antisemitism when people peacefully protested genocide of Palestinians on Columbia’s campus—then you’ll have to stop pretending it was ever actually about antisemitism.
