From Breitbart: If you “hate America” or seek to undermine it — “do not come to this country,” declared Senator Ted Cruz, who endorsed the arrest and impending deportation of pro-Hamas activist and Syrian national Mahmoud Khalil, noting that non-citizens do not possess the right to engage in activities undermining the United States, while slamming Democrats for their support and “showing EXACTLY who they stand with.”
In Wednesday’s episode of his podcast, “Verdict with Ted Cruz,” the Republican Senator addressed the arrest of Mahmoud Khalil, a Syrian-born former graduate student at Columbia University, who was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents on charges of organizing anti-American and pro-Hamas protests.
Khalil, who entered the United States in 2022 as a student and subsequently obtained a green card through marriage to an American citizen, has been accused of orchestrating demonstrations that were perceived as anti-American and supportive of Hamas, a designated terrorist organization.
“He got a green card very quickly, and in his time in America… he organized anti-America, anti-Israel, anti-Semitic, pro-Hamas protests,” Senator Cruz stated.
“American citizens are protected by the First Amendment. Mahmoud Khalil is not a citizen. He is a guest in this country, and he has no right to actively undermine America or spread hate and violence here. The Trump administration rightly arrested Mahmoud and is planning to deport him. Democrats are outraged by this decision, but they are showing EXACTLY who they stand with,” Cruz said.
