#Trump Is Trying to #Deport #Students Who Show Up in a ‘Criminal Records Check.’ But Many Have Never Been Convicted

It began with #MahmoudKhalil. Now Trump is trying to deport students by vaguely claiming they have criminal records.

Some have traffic violations. Some didn't even commit a crime.

One's "criminal record"? — Being a #DomesticViolence victim [#survivor].

Zeteo · Trump Is Trying to Deport Students Who Show Up in a ‘Criminal Records Check.’ But Many Have Never Been ConvictedBy Prem Thakker

Only 4 days late BBC - Quakers condemn arrests of activists at meeting house

I'm tempted to write to our Merseyside PPC and ask if the Liverpool Quaker meeting house, and other gatherings to plan peaceful protests, will be safe from police invasions

BBC NewsQuakers condemn arrests of Youth Demand activists at meeting houseQuakers in Britain says the arrests were the first at a meeting house and "an aggressive violation".

Private groups work to identify & report #student #protesters for possible #deportation

When a protester was caught on video in January at a NY rally against #Israel, only her eyes were visible between a mask & headscarf. But days later, photos of her entire face, along w/her name & employer, were circulated online.

Earlier this month, 16 Just Stop Oil activists have had some MINOR reductions to their RECORD BREAKING sentences for PEACEFUL protests.

But these sentences still represent an ATTACK on our DEMOCRATIC RIGHT to peacefully make our voices heard.

It’s absurd to jail peaceful protesters while giving a free pass to the Big Polluters robbing us of a habitable planet.

The #Trump admin is trying to deport *another* student, 21-yr-old #YunseoChung, a legal permanent resident, under the statute authorizing Secy of State #MarcoRubio to remove people deemed threat. She's lived here since childhood.

Chung wasn’t a leader or heavily involved in the protest movement, she only attended a few.

The #US is seeking to deport a person w/a #GreenCard since she was a child because she went to a #protest.

Another case like #MahmoudKhalil & #BadarSuri:

On March 15, #MomodouTaal, a #CornellUniversity PhD student w/ #UK & #Gambia citizenship, here on a #StudentVisa, filed a lawsuit seeking to overturn #Trump's EO aimed at foreign students accused of "antisemitism”.

This morning at 12:52AM, the #DOJ emailed asking him to come to #ICE to be detained & put into removal proceedings.

In response to #BadarSuri's Petition for Writ of #HabeasCorpus, Judge Patricia Tolliver Giles says the detained #Georgetown researcher cannot be deported *for now*
The arrest of #BadarSuri, #Trump’s #DHS claimed Suri was spreading“Hamas propaganda,”arrested & sent him to a Louisiana detention center. Suri is a LEGAL resident of Virginia married to a full US citizen of Palestinian heritage.
