Debating Deportation and Free Speech

This chapter examines the controversial deportation case of Mahmoud Khalil, a green card holder facing removal without evidence of wrongdoing, raising significant concerns about constitutional rights and free speech. The discussion critiques how vague interpretations of national security threats can endanger legal residents and explores the implications of a 1952 law granting broad powers to determine such threats. It highlights the hypocrisy in free speech support amidst criticisms of Israel and the chilling effect of labeling dissent as anti-Semitism.
