PLEASE SIGN PETITION: "Bring liberty to the captives and release Mahmoud KhalilOn Saturday, March 8, former Columbia graduate student Mahmoud Khalil and his pregnant wife were returning home from an Iftar dinner when they were aggressively confronted by several men in the lobby of their apartment building. The men were ICE agents.
PLEASE SIGN PETITION: "Bring liberty to the captives and release Mahmoud KhalilOn Saturday, March 8, former Columbia graduate student Mahmoud Khalil and his pregnant wife were returning home from an Iftar dinner when they were aggressively confronted by several men in the lobby of their apartment building. The men were ICE agents.
Khalil is a legal permanent resident who has not been charged with any crime. His wife is an American citizen. Yet Trump's ICE operatives handcuffed Khalil, threatened his wife, and dragged him away. The next day, his lawyers couldn't even find where they took him.
The Trump administration acknowledges that Khalil was specifically targeted because of his participation in protests against Israel's war in Gaza. A White House official stated on the record that it's "not that he was breaking the law.” And chillingly, Donald Trump is promising that Khalil's arrest is "the first of many to come."
If Trump gets away with "disappearing" Khalil over speech he doesn't like, he won't hesitate to do it again and again -- and no one who publicly disagrees with Trump will be safe, including social-justice Christians." (Faithful America)......
Just my opinion but I think the outcome of the current situation is going to be either surrender or civil war Having spent my time in a war(Vietnam 1969/70) I know what they are like, sadly I don’t think the vast majority of people in this country have any idea what war means,but I am afraid we are going to find out
Voters are not only protesting to protect their rights, but also the next generations to come. Please refer to the indigenous North American. They were the first to lose everything under fascism- all others followed. Congress is still majority white male in 2025.Fight as if your life depends upon it (because it does) or be slave. Your choice.
Signing a petition is not just a naive hope of change, these days it's fundraising, it keeps up the fighting spirit so we ALL don't rollover. Pressure is what comes of keeping the hope alive, it will be what gets Schumer drummed out of leadership. It will be what gets young people and working people to run for office etc. Keep the big picture in mind
It brings attention to the cruelty, illegalality, etc. How many people would want an 8 month pregnant American wife w/ her husband deported? My niece was in same situation but her husband [ at that time was illegal] he got deported.she was pregnant. Petitions helped. It was ted kennedy who got him home. He employs 100s now and he is a citizen. It was heartbreaking for my neice at that time. America has a heart.

I signed. It's disgusting. I ll pass it on. Please put it on every social media site.
Signing a petition is not going to accomplish anything. Just like hoping there will be an election in 26 or 28.
Sorry, Timothy, but it's better than doing nothing.

Sadly, heartbreakingly, I agree Timothy. And thank you for your service. My Dad was a WWII veteran. 🙏
Thank you for your service, Timothy.

Pipe dream/wishful thinking that miraculously we will be holding “elections as usual “ in ‘26 and ‘28
