As I've mentioned in the past, I'm only a solitary analyst, working through health complications and chronic pain issues; as hard as I try, I can't talk about every story or I want to, or debunk as much spin as I observe in corporate media outlets. Unfortunately in the time since I last covered the Trump regime's ICE abduction of a student protest leader legally residing in the United States, for purely ideological reasons, the Pork Reich has expanded its war on international students who protested Israel's US-back genocide of Palestinians in Gaza; first targeting other students at Columbia, and now expanding to additional schools, like Tufts University, and the University of Alabama.
As I (and many others) predicted, the Trump regime's use of immigration powers to engage in fascist ideological policing, and its loyal Gestapo (DHS/ICE) didn't stop at the illegal abduction of Mahmoud Khalil. In the time I've been writing about other stories, I've failed to talk about a lot of important information and events that shed light on how Trump is using his authority over immigration enforcement to prosecute a war on protestors, and protect a genocide he now owns just as much as the last administration and the rest of the imperialist US establishment do. Unfortunately, I can't rewind time; but I'm going to include some short posts with links to articles talking about what we've missed. It's a lot of reading, but putting it all here in this thread at least allows me to reference these incidents later, once I'm up to current events.
Let's start by looking at Betar; an international, pro-Israel right wing extremist (so, fascist) group who claims to be behind the ICE abduction of Khalil and boasts about supplying the Trump regime with a target list of "thousands" of people for harassment and deportation.
https://www.commondreams.org/news/betar-deportation-list
Far-Right Group Sent List of Palestine Defenders to Trump Officials for Deportation
"Betar, the international far-right pro-Israel group that took credit for the Department of Homeland Security's arrest of former Columbia University graduate student and permanent U.S. resident Mahmoud Khalil for protesting the annihilation of Gaza, claimed this week that it has sent "thousands of names" of Palestine defenders to Trump administration officials for possible deportation.
"Jihadis have no place in civilized nations," Betar said on social media Friday following the publication of a Guardian article on the extremist group's activities.
Earlier this week, Betar said: "We told you we have been working on deportations and will continue to do so. Expect naturalized citizens to start being picked up within the month. You heard it here first. Those who support jihad and intifada and originate in terrorist states will be sent back to those lands."
And just in case you think I'm being uncharitable about describing Betar as a fascist organization:
"Critics have voiced alarm about Betar's activities, pointing to the pro-Israel Anti-Defamation League's recent designation of the organization as a hate group. Founded in 1923 by the early Zionist leader Ze'ev Jabotinsky, Betar has a long history of extremism. Its members—who included former Israeli Prime Ministers Yitzhak Shamir and Menachem Begin—took part in the Zionist terror campaign against Palestinian Arabs and British forces occupying Palestine in the 1940s.
Today, Betar supports Kahanism—a Jewish supremacist and apartheid movement named after Meir Kahane, an Orthodox rabbi convicted of terrorism before being assassinated in 1990—and is linked to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud Party. The group has called for the ethnic cleansing and Israeli recolonization of Gaza. During Israel's assault on the coastal enclave, which is the subject of an International Court of Justice genocide case, its account on the social media site X responded to the publication of a list of thousands of Palestinian children killed by Israeli forces by saying: "Not enough. We demand blood in Gaza!"
As noted elsewhere, White House officials refused to comment on whether or not they were working with Betar, but given that former executive director of the US chapter, Ross Glick, confirmed the existence of the targets list, and held bipartisan meetings about punishing anti-genocide campus protesters with Senators like (R) Ted Cruz, and (D) John Fetterman, it seems entirely plausible that the regime is using Betar's list to target international student protesters for fascist reprisals and deportations.

"As Jewish students, we grew up learning about the rise of #fascism, learning about how important it is to stand up when you see #injustice in the world," said one #protester.
by Julia Conley, Apr 02, 2025
"'We are here in protest of that to demand that the university tell us which trustees, which members of the university administration, are responsible for this so we can demand immediate consequences for them and hold them accountable for what they've done to our peer,' said the undergraduate student.
"Shea added that Jewish students were leading the protest because 'the attacks on our international students, on students of color, have been so fierce, so dangerous, so disproportionate that we are the only students who can be here right now taking this risk.'"

A new documentary, "The Encampments," takes viewers inside the protests across college campuses and public spaces. It features interviews with Mahmoud Khalil, now in a Louisiana detention center after being taken into custody by ICE, award-winning journalist Bisan Owda, and Grant Miner, who was expelled from Columbia University because of his participation in the occupation of a campus building. In its first limited-release weekend, it became the most-seen documentary in theaters. @TeenVogue spoke to co-director Kei Pritsker and student organizer Sueda Polat about why they made the film.

'Mahmoud Khalil, the Columbia University student activist who led campus pro-Palestinian rallies and is now resisting the Trump administration’s deportation efforts, has accused the university of laying “the groundwork for my abduction” and called on the student body to continue demonstrations and protests.'

"Macklemore - HIND'S HALL - The Free Palestine Song" [6:32 min]

Quote by EA: trans by Google from French
"May 10, 2024
This latest Macklemore melody is just incredible. I translated it into French so everyone can understand its message. I don't know how this melody will be received by streaming platforms, but it's definitely the most "Rage Against the Machine" melody of the last decades... Enjoy!
"Hind's Hall" is a protest song by American rapper Macklemore, released as a single on May 6, 2024. Written and produced by Macklemore, it expresses his support for pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses calling for divestment from Israel and a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war.
The song's title refers to pro-Palestinian activists' "renaming" of Hamilton Hall at Columbia University to "Hind's Hall" in honor of Hind Rajab, the six-year-old Palestinian girl exiled by Israeli forces in the Gaza Strip. In the song, Macklemore criticizes US funding to Israel; he describes the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories as apartheid.
Hind Rajab's murder by the Israeli military occurred on January 29, 2024, in the Gazan neighborhood of Tel al-Hawa. The girl was the sole survivor of Israeli tank fire on the vehicle in which she and her family had fled.
Rajab's family was fleeing the Tel Al-Hawa neighborhood of Gaza City when an Israeli army tank fired on their vehicle, killing Rajab's aunt, uncle, and four cousins. The only other survivor, Rajab's 15-year-old cousin, called the Palestine Red Crescent Society for urgent help in a recorded phone call, crying and screaming that Israeli forces were shooting at them amidst the sound of gunfire before stopping when she was killed.
Six-year-old Rajab was the only survivor in the car at the time, surrounded by her family's bodies, and her three-hour emergency phone call with the Red Crescent was released, in which she told the operator: "I'm so scared, please come. Come, take me. Please, will you come?" Hind was eventually killed by the Israeli military.
A Red Crescent ambulance was sent to rescue Rajab, who was attacked by Israeli forces, killing two Red Crescent medics, Yusuf Zeino and Ahmed al-Madhoun, in a deliberate attack, according to the organization, despite Israel being informed of its dispatch.
Israel claimed its troops were not near the vehicle in which Rajab was killed, however, Al Jazeera and the Washington Post refuted Israel's claims, basing their investigations on satellite imagery."

Under threat from #Trump, #ColumbiaUniversity agrees to policy changes
By JAKE OFFENHARTZ
Updated 7:19 PM EDT, March 21, 2025
NEW YORK (AP) — "Columbia University agreed Friday to put its Middle East studies department under new supervision and overhaul its rules for protests and student discipline, acquiescing to an extraordinary ultimatum by the Trump administration to implement those and other changes or risk losing billions of dollars in federal funding.
"As part of the sweeping reforms, the university will also adopt a new definition of antisemitism and expand 'intellectual diversity' by staffing up its Institute for Israel and Jewish Studies, according to a letter published Friday by the interim president, Katrina Armstrong.
"The announcement drew immediate condemnation from some faculty and free speech groups, who accused the university of caving to President Donald Trump’s largely unprecedented intrusion upon the school’s academic freedom.
"'Columbia’s #capitulation endangers #AcademicFreedom and #CampusExpression nationwide,' Donna Lieberman, the executive director of the New York #CivilLibertiesUnion said in a statement.
"Earlier this month, the Trump administration pulled $400 million in research grants and other funding over the university’s handling of protests against Israel’s military campaign in Gaza. As a precondition to restoring those funds — along with billions more in future grants — federal officials last week demanded the university immediately enact nine separate reforms to its academic and security policies."

This is the epitome of fascism. Please look back at what the Nazis did to education.
They wanted people uninformed and/or indoctrinated. The Hitler Youth Program effectively brainwashed children to become full on Nazis.
Schools should be a safe place for kids to express differing opinions, learn about other people and cultures and become tolerant, compassionate citizens of the world
They should be able to do that while protecting their health and the health of their community
This is a devastating blow to public health, democracy and freedom:

Last Thursday Columbia University began suspending and expelling students who the school suspected were involved in legal protests.
It's unclear if Kordia was expelled but ICE cited an allegedly expired student visa as the reason for her arrest.
The expulsions were in response to a Trump threat to cut federal funds to the university which account for 1/4th of the schools operating budget.
