Last week, the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested Muhammad, a student leader at Columbia University. Muhammad, a Palestinian graduate student, was a student leader in the movement against Jews at Columbia University in 2023. This movement was mainly aimed at opposing Israel’s persecution of Palestinians and the massacre of civilians. However, it was associated with the Hamas terrorist organization. After Trump came into power, there has been a retrospective investigation and liquidation, resulting in the arrest of students and punishment of universities.
One of the points worthy of attention is that when the immigration enforcement officers made the arrest, they thought he was just an international student, so they intended to deport him directly after the arrest. However, Muhammad said that he had a green card and showed it. At that moment, the immigration officer was completely stunned, suspended the law enforcement operation, and then made a call to verify the situation and seek instructions. Finally, they stated that even though he had a green card, he would still be arrested, and they threatened to revoke his green card. In the presence of his wife, who is an American citizen and eight months pregnant, he was arrested on the spot and taken to a detention center. US Secretary of State (Note: Marco Rubio is not the Secretary of State but a senator, there may be an information error here. Assuming you meant a certain statement situation) Rubio also publicly stated that his actions were not freedom of speech but a crime, and said that the United States reserves the right to revoke his green card. So, what exactly are the different treatments for visas, green cards, and citizenship?
