Enough with the bullshit. Khalil lied on his visa and green card applications and spent the better part of a year trespassing and vandalizing private property and harassing many people. He's not a fucking 1A martyr.
Thank you for taking up this cause and I hope FIRE can put up the most robust case possible. I don't agree with a word Khalil says, but his right to free speech is inviolable, and that is what these cases are about - protected speech and not actions. It could not be clearer, thanks to your research, although I was pretty sure already that this was protected speech and not actions. If Khalil is deported, we won't live this down easily. These rights are what make America America, and we mess with them at our peril and the peril of every American citizen and resident.

Freedom of speech, to be a meaningful principle, cannot be contained to "freedom of speech we like".
