Alles schaut, wie sich #musk und #trump jetzt gegenseitig angehen. Hoffentlich hat auch jemand im Blick, was nebenher passiert.

Am Ende gehören solche Schauspiele auch nur zu #floodingthezone

#ICE Secretly Hauled #MahmoudKhalil to #Louisiana as Retaliation, Lawyers Allege

By moving the campus #activist to a new jurisdiction, ICE disrupted court proceedings and limited his legal access, his attorneys say.

by Jonah Valdez, March 11 2025,

"Mahmoud Khalil’s wife watched as agents from the Department of Homeland Security handcuffed her husband and whisked him away from their New York City apartment in an unmarked vehicle on Saturday evening.
Agents ignored the pleas of Khalil’s wife who tried to show them legal papers proving her husband was a green card holder. They wouldn’t heed her requests to share where they were taking him, according to court filings. Eventually, one of the agents offered a terse response: Check the local immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza in Manhattan.

"By next morning, however, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainee locator indicated Khalil was no longer in New York. Instead, it showed him at the Elizabeth Detention Center in New Jersey. When Khalil’s wife visited the jail, she was turned away.

"Without warning to Khalil’s wife or his immigration attorney Amy Greer, who the same morning had filed a petition to challenge her client’s arrest as a violation of his First Amendment free speech rights, ICE agents had transferred Khalil to a different facility. This time, they moved him thousands of miles south of his New York home to a facility in Louisiana. It wasn’t until Monday morning that Khalil’s exact whereabouts were updated in the ICE online system: the #LaSalleDetentionFacility in #JenaLouisiana, a #PrivateJail operated by the #GEOGroup.

"Attorneys for Khalil allege the move from the New York metropolitan area to Louisiana was a '#RetaliatoryTransfer' intended to restrict his access and to lawyers and family, and position what has grown into a closely watched #FirstAmendment case in a jurisdiction more friendly to the Trump administration’s anti-immigrant policies.

"Three days after his detention, Khalil still has not been charged with a crime. The Department of Homeland Security has said it arrested Khalil, a lead negotiator for Palestine solidarity protesters at Columbia, for having “led activities aligned to Hamas.” President Donald Trump, who campaigned on deporting pro-Palestinian protesters, pledged that Khalil’s arrest is 'the first arrest of many to come' and that his administration would continue to target for deportations 'more students at Columbia and other Universities across the Country who have engaged in pro-terrorist, anti-Semitic, anti-American activity.'

"Although a Manhattan federal court ordered a temporary halt preventing the Trump administration from immediately deporting Khalil, attorneys remain concerned for his well-being and ability to access proper legal counsel. In a motion filed Monday evening by attorneys from the Center for Constitutional Rights and the Creating Law Enforcement Accountability and Responsibility project at the City University of New York School of Law, attorneys seek to reverse the ICE decision and to transfer Khalil back to New York."

Chilling
The #Trump #regime will arrest some of you in the middle of the night because you spoke your mind

Robert Reich, Mar 11, 2025

"Friends,

"One of the purposes of 'flooding the zone,' as the Trump regime is trying to do — shocking and awing us with its blitzkrieg of bonkers orders — is to make it almost impossible to sort out what we should be incredibly freaked out about from what we should merely freak out about.

"I’m incredibly freaked out about the regime grabbing people from their homes who are legally in the United States, with permanent status — not just visas permitting them to work or study here but green cards — and then whisking them away to prison because they’ve engaged in constitutionally protected speech that the regime doesn’t like.

"You think I’m exaggerating? This is exactly what happened to #MahmoudKhalil on Saturday night. Khalil, who graduated from #Columbia’s School of International and Public Affairs in December, has a green card. His wife, who is eight months pregnant, is an American citizen.

"Immigration agents appeared at his apartment building and told him he was being detained. He now appears to be in a detention facility in Louisiana.

"Khalil did nothing illegal. He has not been charged with a crime. He expressed his political point of view — peacefully, non-violently, non-threateningly. That’s supposed to be permitted — dare I say even encouraged? — in a #democracy.

"So why is he in jail?

"#Khalil was one of the leaders of last year’s peaceful pro-#Palestinian #protests at #ColumbiaUniversity.

"In a post on Truth Social, Trump conceded Khalil was snatched up and sent off because of his politics. 'This is the first arrest of many to come,' wrote Trump. 'We know there are more students at Columbia and other Universities across the Country who have engaged in pro-terrorist, anti-Semitic, anti-American activity, and the Trump Administration will not tolerate it.'"

With my job it’s kind of hard to become a news avoider, but I can certainly understand why people choose to turn away from the news… Today’s cartoon for Trouw.

#news #Trump #floodingthezone

Cartoon showing a couple watching the news. The face of Trump is on TV, and a giant stream of bright green vomit is coming from his mouth and out of the TV, hitting the couple with such force that the couch they are sitting on is knocked back. The man screams ‘Turn it off’ as their dog tries to flee and coffee cups fly through the air.

Ich stimme Judith uneingeschränkt zu, dass #Bloggen jetzt noch wichtiger wird. Dass wir auf eine effektive #Selbstfürsorge achten müssen und uns nicht in die Empörungswelle hinein ziehen lassen können.

Trump is not being successful as President. Don’t believe him. He doesn’t have the command the power he wants you to think he has. Don’t fall for it! #trump #losing #failure #floodingthezone #leaks #press #denials #executiveorders #weak #elonmusk #benjaminpdixon #ezraklein youtu.be/z5vMZukpruA?...

TRUMP is ALREADY LOSING! Ezra ...

#FloodingTheZone: Superior Other all ready for an NSF site review on a large grant today, only to find it (and all NSF meetings with grantees) cancelled until further notice.

"There's no difference between the parties." That's #ScienceDenial.

[NSF itself was notified at 6a ET-- as disruptively as possible, do note.]

[["NSF should just ignore!" Children, mortgages, etc. Walk in same shoes and then report back. "Just" is a short but big word.]]

@HarriettMB @GottaLaff it’s infuriating how much #attention #TikTok gets relative to EVERYTHING else. Talk about #FloodingTheZone?

aehm, jetzt sagt die Dame Pepa Millán von vox, dass Sánchez’ Frau ja offenbar korrupt ist,.... obwohl die Grundlagen offenbar rein erfunden sind - die Richter sollen jetzt unabhängig arbeiten. Ach, wegen falscher Anschuldigungen sollen Richter arbeiten? Es is zum Mäusemelken. #floodingthezone #chesswithdoves #Medienkompetenz #espana
