Speaking an opinion vs taking a leadership position resulting in inciting violent protests... where has Persuasion landed on that point related to Jan-6? I think if we are talking about hypocritical positions, there is a glaring one with Persuasion.

And let's not also forget the difference between 1A rights for a citizen verses a LPR. The LPR is a US resident on probation. The rules are different. Constitutional rights are different. As they should be.

Khalil is an alien and can be deported if he violates Terrorism-Related Inadmissibility Grounds (TRIG) law- see USCIS.gov. TRIG law applies only to aliens. The scope of this law is very broad, it was broadened after 9/11. An alien can be deported for any reason which, if known, would have denied him/her entry into the U.S. Khalil belongs to CUAD- Columbia University Apartheid Divestment- its stated aim is ''fighting for the total eradication of Western civilization'' with special emphasis on destroying the U.S. and Israel. Had Khalil stated that his purpose in entering the U.S. was to destroy the U.S. he would have been denied entry. An alien, when applying for a U.S. visa must promise to comply with U.S. laws and not engage in activities harmful to the U.S.. Clearly entering the U.S. with the purpose of destroying it violates the conditions of his visa and gives grounds for deportation. This is not a free speech issue.
