Trump Border Czar: ICE Will ‘Absolutely’ Deport Legal Immigrants

[Social Media]

 

Donald Trump’s border czar declared Monday that immigrants living legally in the U.S. can “absolutely” be kicked out of the country—even if they have green cards.

 

Tom Homan was asked whether Mahmoud Khalil, who lead pro-Palestinian protests at Columbia University and was arrested by ICE on Saturday night, can be deported even though he holds a green card and resides in the country legally. 

 

“Absolutely we can,” Homan told Fox Business Network’s Stuart Varney. “Did he violate the terms of his visa? Did he violate the terms of his residency here, you know, committing crimes, attacking Israeli students, locking down buildings, destroying property? Absolutely, any resident alien who commits a crime is eligible for deportation,” he said, referring to pro-Palestine students’ occupation of a Columbia administrative building during protests last year.

 

The comment comes hours after Marco Rubio announced that legal residents could get their green cards and visas revoked. “We will be revoking the visas and/or green cards of Hamas supporters in America so they can be deported,” he wrote in an X post that linked Khalil’s arrest. 

 

Tricia McLaughlin, a spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security, told the Associated Press that the arrest was made “in support of President Trump’s executive orders prohibiting anti-Semitism.”

 

A petition calling for Khalil’s release has been signed more than 1 million times. Green cards and visas can be revoked if the holder is convicted of a crime or considered a threat to national security, but that decision is made by immigration judges.

The good news just keeps coming. <deleted> around and find out

[thesetat]

This law is not new. Just the Dems never enforced it. Breaking the nations laws even in Thailand invites immigration to revoke your visa and deport you. I have yet to understand why these immigrants think they can come into America and break the laws and expect to stay? 

It is about time the US government starts getting rid of non-citizens when they violate the nations laws.

Border Tsar homan is supposed to be accomplishing mass deportations, in the thousands per day.

 

Now he is talking about deporting one person, possibly.

 

More Clownage.

He is correct in what he says, basically if immigrants break the law then they can be deported.

 

What has made this a hot issue is ICE has arrested an immigrant for protesting on a college campus. No charges have been filed, be broke NO laws, but because he was pro-Palestinian in his protest sentiment, he was arrested.

 

This is how it starts.

Inciting support for a terrorist organization is most likely illegal. 

It is one thing to have freedom of speech. But quite another to encourage others to support and aid terrorism. 

I would love to see what would happen to you if you went and stood outside your embassy protesting against something Thailand was doing. For sure arrest and deportation would follow.

Yup.  Where I live in China just now is very much at risk if I break the law.  So I simply don't. 

 

I do not understand why anyone would think or hope it'd be different in the USA, that's literally stupid.

 

That said, if someone supported a Palestinian?  I can't see how that would break the law unless that Palestinian was part of a proscribed terrorist organisation.  Here in China I saw a pro-Palestinian protest; the police let that protest happen without any intervention.

Two parts to this.

 

1. "But quite another to encourage others to support and aid terrorism."

You mean like that guy did to incite the January 6 riot?

 

2. "I would love to see what would happen to you if you went and stood outside your embassy protesting against something Thailand was doing."

False equivalency, Thailand is not a democratic republic.

We were told by the last administration that there was no such thing as a border czar.

 

Ps tom is a long time holdover from the Obama administration.

He answered a question that was about a specific person and then continued on to say that it applied to ALL resident aliens.

 

If you actually read the OP before posting you would have noticed that.

You can not say what happened Jan 6 was terrorism... It has never been deemed this except in your own brain. 

 

False equivalency? Thailand is promoted and being democratic. How is it false?

Another "feel good" news story.

 

The GOP have really hit the ground running.  

 

Now, ramp it up.

Of course you would take the side of a racist and hater. He is being deported because he is a racist jew hater. Alien haters arent allowed, especially ones that incite violence.

This is the new cause for the Socialists and Democrats. Another bad hill to die on. They need to ramp it up, because between supporting haters, trannies and encouraging violent terrorism, the mid terms cant come fast enough

Fun to watch Trump's America self destruct. Impact on US economy due to mass deportation across US industries will reduce US GDP by 4.2% to 6.86%. Significant loss of tax revenues from immigrant households and even undocumented immgrants which contribute to Social Security and Medicare. The stock markets are flagging red lights of the country economy health. But owning the libs is still the standing role in the rhetoric of Maga and their dear leader.

Why do you consider the people haters and racist? You must be on the side of terrorism and racist just to say that. Just because someone wants the people who enter the US to follow laws and to be legal as well as supporting the US.. Does not make the any of the things you accused the poster of..

Well this guy, because he has, as determined by the government, to have ties to the seriously depraved murderous terrorists Hamas. He will have his day in Court,

You have no facts to back up your assertion that arent propagandistic manipulation, but go ahead, show us.

Slowly it started  . It creeped in like the

green fog of pestilence in the Ten Commandments. Appeasement of Islamic Terrorism, The oppressed , anti

Non violent protesting is not a crime in the USA…under Trump if you are on the wrong side of the protest, he will try to deport you. 
 

the immigration judge blocked the deportation because he/she is applying the law….Trump is quickly eroding  or trying to diminish law and order….

 

Trump is trying to run the US gov like a mobster boss as he has done with his own businesses….plenty of evidence
