I'm writing concerning the illegal arrest and threatened deportation of activist Mahmoud Khalil. The administration has been crystal clear that this was in direct retaliation against his political speech, which is supposed to be protected by the first amendment. If Trump is allowed to get away with deporting a green card holder for political speech, it's a slippery slope down to deporting natural born citizens. Whether you agree with Mahmoud or not, I call on you to denounce this illegal action and call for his immediate release. Thank you for your attention.
