I disagree with Mahmoud Khalil's politics. But the deportation decision is abhorrent | Jo-Ann Mort

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

58% : But I'm unwavering in supporting his right to his views, and his right to shout them in what, until Trump took the reins, was our free American nation.
49% : Domestically, the president's plan appears to be not only to divide and conquer, but also to weaken and even cripple institutions of higher education, the arts, and other critical underpinnings of democracy that keep American Jews - and all minorities - safe.
48% : Therefore, it's likely - and hopeful - that on further appeal, Khalil's constitutional right to free speech could be upheld, though less likely than it would have been before the weakening of our constitutional fiber under President Trump.
47% : He was shocked when Trump announced during their joint press availability that he would send his adviser Steve Witkoff to discuss a peace agreement between the US and Iran.
46% : On the contrary, dividing and conquering to strip higher education and free speech of their very essences endangers every group that has relied on the first amendment's guarantee.
38% : He has completely crouched under the heavy arm of President Trump, foregoing many of his previously long-held beliefs in everything from support for Ukraine to the use of soft aid via USAID, and generally in promoting American values.
25% : As the Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu himself discovered when he traveled to the White House this week, Trump had nothing to offer him.
