Uphold due process & 1A rights. Demand release of Mahmoud Khalil.

We are now in the territory of Pastor Niemoller's famous poem: First they came for the Communists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Communist Then they came for the Socialists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Socialist Then they came for the trade unionists And I did not speak out Because I was not a trade unionist Then they came for the Jews And I did not speak out Because I was not a Jew Then they came for me And there was no one left To speak out for me Trump's bigotry is coming for everyone: for trade unions, for a list of words, for research. The detention of Mahmoud Khalil by ICE is a violation of the rule of law and due process. Khalil has been charged with no offense. What happened to the rule of law? What happened to the first amendment? (It prohibits Congress from making laws respecting an establishment of religion; prohibiting the free exercise of religion; or abridging the freedom of speech, the freedom of the press, the freedom of assembly, or the right to petition the government for redress of grievances. ) If you let due process and the rule of law be overturned for Mahmoud Khalil, who will be next? This is not just an issue for Mr Khalil, not just an issue for New York State. Hold hearings and bring ICE agents in to answer questions under oath. Make additional funding for ICE contingent on accountability and legality. If you do nothing you are complicit in the death of the rule of law and the rise of tyranny
