“The legal questions in the case are thorny; Supreme Court rulings have gone different directions on the issue. The political questions are ugly, and shot through with self-interest; federal judges, liberal non-profits, the Democratic Party, and even neoconservatives are using Khalil’s arrest as a weapon against Donald Trump. But all of this does little to alter the actual political or social significance of what’s occurring. Indeed, the arrest of Mahmoud Khalil and a host of associated actions by the federal government have very little to do with any of the questions above. Instead, they represent the silencing of one point of view about foreign policy in favor of another — and in ways that will likely redound on Americans now and in the future.” (03/25/25)
