Citizen status of protestors. The repercussions have nothing to do with visas or citizenship. In Khalil’s case, the Trump administration has stipulated that he is charged with no crime.

He’s selected easy targets, so easy that Democrats like yourself are willing to go along with Trump’s totalitarian actions. I would suggest you think about the broader context before so gleefully accepting this particular component of his agenda.
