I Was Detained for My Beliefs. Who Will Be Next?

[Hume]

By Mohsen Mahdawi

Mr. Mahdawi is a Palestinian human rights advocate and Columbia University student.
On April 14, 2025, I was detained during what should have been my citizenship naturalization interview. After more than two weeks of unjust imprisonment, a federal judge ruled in favor of releasing me. In a major victory for democracy, I may be the first of the many student activists who have been detained by the Trump administration to be freed from detention.

Idiocracy is a documentary.

So, what are this guy's "beliefs?"

So, what are this guy's "beliefs?"

He believes in peace.

Bye Bye Western Civilization......You had a good run....Now you are over.

 

[T. A. Gardner]

He believes in peace.

I doubt it.

 

[Hawkeye10]

He believes in peace.

Sadly free minds are now tolerated even less in Europe than they are here.

 

[AProudLefty]

I doubt it.

“The American government accuses me of undermining US foreign policy, a patently absurd pretext for deportation for political speech that the Trump administration dislikes. The government is scraping the bottom of the barrel in its attempts to smear me. My only ‘crime’ is refusing to accept the slaughter of Palestinians, opposing war and promoting peace. I have simply insisted that international law must be respected. I believe the way to a just and long-lasting peace for Palestinians and Israelis is through diplomacy and restorative justice.”

You think he lied? Apparently they couldn't prove he lied so he was released.

The problem for your argument is that we all know what our government did to us during the so-called Biden administration where it comes to speech.

and in Canada.....and people should know that the situation is even worse in Europe.

Great news. Trump just goes from win to win. Another terrorist gang rape and murder hobo gets expelled, and the left wets itself over another American hating alien getting sent back where they belong.

 

[EdwinA]

Yes, he likely lied.

they always claim they just want peace, while launching thousands of missles ayear and cheering attacks on busses of civilians, mass gang rapes of 'infidels', stoning 12 year old girls to death for the crime of learning to read and write, all that kind of stuff. The UN and their fellow Arabs pay them very well to be murderers for hire and faking being 'refugees n stuff'.

 

[EdwinA]

He believes in peace.

Rubbish. It believes in peace by murdering all Jews in the Little Satan and then moving on to murdering The Great Satan,, same as you do.

Bunch of lies.

 

[AProudLefty]

Yes, he likely lied.

And yet he was released.

He can still have his screwed-up beliefs, just tell us about them from the other side of the fence.

Why would we grant citizenship to this pile of shit? It's our choice not his. Can a single one of you frothing at the mouth leftists answer that? And I don't want to hear racist or due process which is about the extent of your ideas.

And as far as the link, if I have to do more than click my mouse it's not getting viewed. I don't sign up and I don't sign in to see propaganda.
