New 'Thought Policing' Bill May Let #Rubio Strip #Passports from #USCitizens Over Political Speech | Common Dreams
Stephen Prager
Sep 13, 2025"#FreeSpeech advocates are sounding the alarm about a bill in the US House of Representatives that they fear could allow Secretary of State #MarcoRubio to strip US citizens of their passports based purely on political speech.
"The bill, introduced by Rep. #BrianMast (R-Fla.), will come up for a hearing on Wednesday. According to The Intercept:
:Mast’s new bill claims to target a narrow set of people. One section grants the secretary of state the power to revoke or refuse to issue passports for people who have been convicted—or merely charged—of material support for terrorism...
"The other section sidesteps the legal process entirely. Rather, the secretary of state would be able to deny passports to people whom they determine 'has knowingly aided, assisted, abetted, or otherwise provided material support to an organization the Secretary has designated as a foreign terrorist organization.'
"Rubio has previously boasted of stripping the visas and green cards from several immigrants based purely on their peaceful expression of #ProPalestine views, describing them as '#Hamas supporters.'
"These include Columbia protest leader #MahmoudKhalil, who was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (#ICE) after Rubio voided his green card; and #RumeysaOzturk, the Tufts student whose visa Rubio revoked after she co-wrote an op-ed calling for her school to divest from #Israel.
"Mast—a former soldier for the #IsraelDefenseForces who once stated that babies were 'not innocent Palestinian civilians' — has previously called for 'kicking terrorist sympathizers out of our country,' speaking about the Trump administration’s attempts to deport Khalil, who was never convicted or even charged with support for a terrorist group.
"Critics have argued that the bill has little reason to exist other than to allow the Secretary of State to unilaterally strip passports from people without them actually having been convicted of a crime."

#BrunswickME - #BowdoinCollege students stand firm in support of detained #ProPalestine organizer at #ColumbiaUniversity
by WGME StaffSun, March 16th 2025
BRUNSWICK, Maine (WGME) -- "Pro-#Palestinian students at Bowdoin have no plans to shy away from speaking out after a pro-#Palestine student-organizer at Columbia was detained.
"#MahmoudKhalil, a permanent U.S. resident, was arrested a week ago after his involvement in protests at Columbia University.
"He's being held by immigration in Louisiana but has not been charged with a crime.
"Olivia Kenney, a student-organizer at Bowdoin, is currently in New York protesting for Khalil's freedom.
"She tells us his detainment and the expulsion of students across the country is not deterring students from taking action.
"'I am seeing people on campuses across the country and in New York continuing to rise to the occasion. I heard from some of the expelled students who were speaking yesterday and talking about how you can expel a student, but you can't remove their conviction, you cannot remove commitment,' Kenney said.
"Justice Department lawyers have argued the U.S. Government is seeking Khalil's removal because Secretary of State Marco Rubio has reasonable grounds to believe his activities or presence in the country could have 'serious adverse foreign policy consequences.'
"Rubio says the U.S. will likely revoke more student visas in the coming days."

#Protest held in #PortlandME to support #PalestinianActivist
March 18, 2025
PORTLAND (WGME) -- "A rally in downtown Portland was held Tuesday afternoon, protesting the detention and proposed deportation of a #Palestinian activist.
"Community leaders turned out in support of #MahmoudKhalil, a permanent U.S. resident and student who was arrested a week ago over his involvement in #ProPalestine protests at #ColumbiaUniversity.
"He's accused of distributing pro-Hamas propaganda, including flyers bearing the group’s logo and organizing protests that disrupted classes and harassed Jewish students.
"Khalil is currently being held by immigration officers in Louisiana but has not been charged with a crime.
"The State Department is looking to revoke his green card.
"His attorneys have filed a lawsuit challenging his detention, arguing his rights were violated.
"'This is a travesty of justice,' #FaisalKhan of the #CarolinaPeaceCenter said. 'A stain on the moral conscience of the United States. And yet, the American public remains largely silent. How much longer will the silence continue, I ask? How much longer will people turn away from the suffering of innocent lives. Silence is complicity.'"
