The article discusses an incident where Khalil, a green card holder, was detained by plainclothes DHS agents in front of his pregnant wife. The agents initially failed to identify themselves and claimed Khalil's student visa was revoked without proper justification. Despite Khalil's legal status, communication with his attorney was cut off when they sought to understand the legal basis for his detention. The situation evokes parallels to past policies regarding the treatment of detainees and raises alarming questions about the rights of legal residents.
From Zeteo: According to the advocates, at around 8:30 PM, Khalil and his wife—who is eight months pregnant—had just unlocked the door to their building when two plainclothes DHS agents pushed inside behind them.
The agents alleged that the State Department had revoked Khalil's student visa, with one agent presenting what he claimed was a warrant on his cell phone.
Khalil is currently being held in an ICE detention center in Louisiana, per the ICE detention tracker. That's a comfort to his wife, I'm sure.
Are we now allowing the rendition of legal residents to black sites in the United States? Where would he be in Louisiana? Angola?
