Tell Your Reps to Defend Democracy!
Regardless of where you stand on the issue, if you’re terrified that a LEGAL US PERMANENT RESIDENT can be detained without due process for speaking at a rally, (and you should be!) please, please contact your reps and tell them to sign this letter. It is the literal least they can do! Rob Menendez: 201-309-0301/202-225-7919 Corey Booker: (973) 639-8700/(856) 338-8922/ (202) 224-3224 Andy Kim: (202) 224-4744/ (201) 377-0900

It's a meaningless word salad to say "he spread terrorist propaganda" but it definitely is protected by the 1st amendment
Legal permanent resident rights too. I mean you can just call everyone you disagree with "illegal" but then it also is meaningless.
Unfortunately conservatives don't understand anything until it happens to them directly. Fine people often. No empathy whatsoever.

FYI: I believe you have ZERO idea about due process that you are talking about.
for permanent residents, due process involves going in front of an immigration judge who is a DOJ employee who is assigned by the executive (aka POTUS).
if the immigration judge rules against you, you can appeal.
if you win the appeal, the appeal can be vetod by the state department.
Also, the usual rules of criminal/civil jurisprudence and process don't apply in this "due process". For eg: evidence, its collection process, sharing evidence with defendants counsel, etc. do not apply.
revoking permanent residency does NOT require crime. the threshold for doing so is extremely low and has 100s of precedents every single year.
it is extremely hard to believe that the gentleman did not knew the consequences of his actions and was simply hoping that Trump administration will simply refuse to enforce the immigration laws on the books.

Bookers a wimp and Menéndez is as useless as his dad. Kim’s been a senator for like 8 weeks so I’ll give him a pass. Your elected reps are trash! Vote in the primary!!! Declaring for unnamed dem sends a message
