Heated, tense moment earlier tonight at the #OttawaWestNepean all-candidates* debate, after a question on antisemitism. Some attendees shouted over the moderator before candidates could even respond…

*not quite all candidates, actually…Conservative Party candidate Ryan Telford & Christian Heritage Party candidate Sean Mulligan were no-shows, despite being invited…🤔

#ICE Got Warrants Under “#FalsePretenses,” Claims #ColumbiaStudent Targeted Over #GazaProtests

The law behind the warrants bars concealment of people in the country illegally, yet the students were legal residents living on campus.

by Shawn Musgrave, March 28 2025

"Earlier this month, while hunting for #ColumbiaUniversity students to deport over their ties to #Gaza protests, the #Trump administration convinced a federal judge to sign off on search warrants for two students’ dorm rooms — then raided the residences with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.

"As details about the warrants have emerged, however, so have allegations that federal agents misled the court and secured the warrants under 'false pretenses,' as one of the students whose room was searched, #YunseoChung, claimed in a lawsuit challenging her deportation.

"The warrants were predicated on probable cause that Columbia was 'harboring' students who were in the country illegally, court filings indicate. Chung, however, is a lawful permanent resident, notwithstanding the Trump administration’s efforts to deport her based on her arrest and citation at a Gaza sit-in. She has lived in the U.S. since she was 7 years old.

"'The basis for this entire operation is constitutionally invalid.'

"'The idea that they went before a federal magistrate judge and said, ‘We have to search Ms. Chung’s residence for evidence of Columbia harboring her’ — that shows they’re willing to lie to a judge,' said Nathan Yaffe, an immigration attorney.

"Yaffe represents both Chung and the other Columbia student who was targeted by the search warrants, #RanjaniSrinivasan, who left the country in mid-March.

"Most of the materials relating to the search warrants remain under seal in federal court, and Columbia declined to comment on them, citing student privacy protections. ICE did not respond to The Intercept’s questions about the warrants.

"'If the government falsified information to get the warrant, that is its own bundle of serious problems,' said Joshua Colangelo-Bryan, an attorney at #HumanRightsFirst who also represents Chung. 'But even if not, the basis for this entire operation is constitutionally invalid.'"

"The obvious reason the #Trump administration is making an example of #Columbia is the #GazaProtests of last spring, which began on Morningside Heights and spread at warp speed around the nation. But the government is also using its anti-Palestinian crackdown as an excuse to fulfill another one of its cherished goals: to crush the influence of prestigious universities."

“By these actions, by their willingness to scapegoat and vilify the pro-Palestine student movement, these institutions have invited their enemies in, becoming testing grounds for the authoritarianism that threatens our nation.”

Maybe I should have started a #PolicingTheCampus thread way back...

Anyway here's the #UN saying that what uni's are doing "reveals a widespread hostile environment for the exercise of the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and association"; & that this threatens "democratic systems and institutions; ...in addition to failing the responsibility to prevent atrocity crimes and to contribute to peace"

"Rather than presume that certain speech is or is not antisemitic, we believe this guide can help clarify a nuanced and contextualized approach to thinking about #antisemitism in this current moment. At the same time, the Guide is not intended as a legal standard nor to be enshrined into law, for to do so risks weaponization that could be used to suppress or chill speech" 👀

None of the prestige journalists who ran with this seem concerned that it’s entirely false.

Factors of death surround us.
Every day we sleep, we wake up to destruction, horror, and bombing...
Children live in a state of panic and terror...
I ask you to help me urgently spread the link to my family and so that I can reach many
people who want to help us.

When students return to campus this Fall, Gaza protests are likely to return. Will college presidents send in the police again?

A 'ladder of harm' approach could help them determine appropriate actions:

These were banal, humorous texts between colleagues, someone took a picture of them over one of the dean's shoulder and leaked them to demagogues at The Free Beacon, they became fodder for a House Republican witch hunt and here we are.

That ludicrous moral panic claims three more victims.

UT Dallas protesters in legal limbo, banned from campus, degrees withheld

A live-Interview with Sascha Nick (EPFL) on the noon news show 12:45 of Swiss-French TV channel RTS was interrupted by #GazaProtests in Lausanne, Switzerland.

The interviewee was asked about the ecological impact of air travel and - as an aside - was talking mostly rubbish. The interview was terminated because of the protest.

Maybe I’m missing something, but a museum seems like a very odd place for this type of protest.

About a dozen people were arrested, detained or removed by law enforcement agencies at New Mexico State University’s Las Cruces campus Thursday evening after a group of protesters, angry over the death toll and humanitarian crisis in Gaza, held a sit-in for two hours.
