Suppression of Free Speech in America
The First Amendment guarantees freedom of speech, freedom of assembly and the right to petition the government for redress of grievances.
The Trump Administration is seeking to deport yet another Columbia University student for exercising her First Amendment rights. https://apnews.com/article/cornell-columbia-immigration-detention-mahmoud-khalil-taal-052280bfe4e8d4d07e98a681058340fe
Yunseo Chung is a 21 year old legal permanent resident, who has been in the US legally since she was 7 years old. She participated in a university sit in protesting the Trump Administration’s deportation efforts directed at fellow university students for exercising their First Amendment rights to protest Israel’s military actions in Gaza.
The common denominators for all five Trump Administration deportation efforts of students are their involvement in protest movements about the Netanyahu Government’s killing of Palestinian civilians in Gaza.
One would hope that dedicated lawyers and courageous judges will put a stop to this even in the face of the Trump Administration’s efforts to impeach judges whose rulings they dislike and to bankrupt the law firms of lawyers who represent defendants who oppose the Trump Administration’s most constitutionally egregious conduct.
