Why is it "dangerous?" If you are a foreign national residing in the US, not a citizen, you have certain expectations of behavior that US citizens get either a pass on, or are treated differently in regard to.
For example, you are a foreign national and commit a misdemeanor crime. That potentially could get you deported. A US citizen receives at most some penalty like a few days in jail or a fine. Or, if you are involved in what the government deems activities against the US, you get deported where a US citizen gets a pass as a "free speech" issue.
When the US government starts arresting the US citizen protesters and holding them without charges, etc., get back to me. THAT would be dangerous precedent.

That largely is his prerogative.

Again it's Trump, not the government, that deems his activities that way. Focus McFly.

Ignoring the Constitution is his "prerogative" too.
I heard he is from Syria.I hope he enjoys his free plane ride back to Gaza. LOL
It appears a Green Card is not a suit of armor. I'm guessing Kristi "Dog Killa" Noem will deport his ass ASAP and let him fight the deportation from some shithole in Gaza.

Leader of student protests at Columbia facing deportation after arrest by immigration officials
A prominent Palestinian activist who helped lead protests at Columbia University is facing deportation following his arrest by federal immigration agents over the weekend.
Mahmoud Khalil, who graduated from the university in December, was arrested Saturday by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. The Department of Homeland Security confirmed the arrest, saying it was a result of President Donald Trump’s executive orders prohibiting antisemitism. Khalil has not been formally charged with a crime.
His lawyer, Amy Greer, said the agents who took him into custody at his university-owned home near Columbia initially claimed to be acting on a State Department order to revoke his student visa. But when Greer informed them that Khalil was a permanent resident with a green card, they said they would revoke that documentation instead.
Since I don't know this guy and I am fairly ignorant about immigration law, I don't know what to make of it.
In theory, I don't think people who aren't citizens should be organizing protests in America, particularly if they are pro-Hamas in inclination.
My friend is a Canadian green card holder, and she pretty much keeps her nose out of American politics.

A judge stayed the deportation, but that doesn't mean he isn't already on a flight back to Syria or some other place shithole.
Trump doesn't have to obey anyone thanks to SCOTUS. LOL
OTOH, maybe they'll just lock him as a terrorist. Ms. @moon has made two terrorist threats today.

THIS is a dangerous precedent.
The 1st amendment is one of this nation's most defining principles. This goes straight to the heart of that.
There is no defense for this.

So? As head of the executive branch, that's his prerogative. No difference than say, FDR tossing Japanese-, German-, or Italian-Americans in internment camps because they pose a threat to the US in his opinion.

No, it's not. Having foreign nationals stirring up shit in the US shouldn't be allowed and those foreign nationals should be deported. That's what's happening here.

Stirring what shit up? All he did was expressing his free speech about the Palestinians. BTW FDR putting those people in the internment camps was a dark period of history that shouldn't ever be repeated.

That's an exaggerated characterization.

I'm comparing it to threats to the US in general. Hamas is a terrorist organization. The Iranians are a threat to the US. Protests supporting Palestine and calling for the destruction of Israel de facto support Hamas and indirectly Iranian national policy. That represents a potential threat to the US. Therefore, deporting foreign nationals who participate in protests against Israel that call for its destruction while supporting Palestine and, by default, Hamas is reasonable.
What's not reasonable about deporting a foreign national who is leading protests against a US ally (however casual that relationship is), calling for their destruction, while supporting enemies of the United States?

Not true. As a "leader" of those protests, he tacitly endorse their violence.

No, it's not. It is an accurate account of what's going on at Columbia and why foreign nationals involved with protests there should be deported.

Again, there is no proof that he was calling for Israel's destruction and supporting enemies.
If you were a prosecutor, you'd fail in that aspect.
