#Trump Is Trying to #Deport #Students Who Show Up in a ‘Criminal Records Check.’ But Many Have Never Been Convicted
It began with #MahmoudKhalil. Now Trump is trying to deport students by vaguely claiming they have criminal records.
Some have traffic violations. Some didn't even commit a crime.

I shed #TearsOfMirth at the sight of a sign that says "So Bad, Even the #Introverts Are Here!"
Other signs say:
#StopTheHate
FREE #MahmoudKhalil
"If you cut off MY #ReproductiveRights, can I cut off yours?" with woman wielding a pair of scissors
And a poster that reads "Shame on #Trump #Musk #Republicans #Democrats" — Damn right! #ElectedDemocrats are behaving as if they were elected to support the #MAGA #DOGE agenda. #Schumer #Schiff #Fetterman, Go home!

The decision by US Dist Judge Michael Farbiarz in Newark, NJ, means any appeals in the #Palestinian #activist's case will be heard by the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals, which has a 6-6 split between active judges appointed by Republican & Democratic presidents, instead of the #5thCircuit, the country's most #conservative appeals court.
