“We increasingly live in a society that is unable to make distinctions. And there is a difference between having political criteria on the front end of the visa-application process and using a foreign-policy pretext to expel a legal permanent resident because he has been engaged in political activity that is, however nasty, entirely legal as far as the government is concerned. If the Trump administration believes that [Mahmoud] Khalil has broken the law, then let it charge him and prove its case in court; if the Trump administration believes that Khalil has committed some immigration violation, then there is a process for that, too — and the process isn’t arresting him without charges as a public-relations stunt. Because this is the fact: Donald Trump’s lawlessness is a far greater threat to the peace and security of these United States than is the champagne radicalism of some campus dope at Columbia.” (03/19/25)
