  • In case anyone was wondering what exorbitant privilege was:

    “The term which has been in place for a very long time is that we have ‘exorbitant privilege’. That we end up paying a much lower cost for financing our deficits and debt, we have much greater capital flows and attractiveness of the dollar and assets, because of these things,” he said.

    Basically people invest here because it is a pretty stable business environment. Constantly going back and forth on whether massive tariffs will be put in place, puts that all in jeopardy.






  • He is not a citizen. He had a green card which the administration revoked. Green cards cannot be revoked without cause and Khalil did not break a law. They could deport him if he was advocating for an organization that is an enemy of the US (terrorist organizations, enemy nations, etc) or if he committed a felony. Trump did sign an EO basically saying that anti Semitism on campuses is illegal. So the administration will have to prove that his protests were anti Semitic. Unfortunately I could definitely see the courts allowing the administration to interpret their own EO and ignoring the fact that it violates constitutional rights.

    Edit: I forgot that there was an EO from Trump’s last administration that targeted anti Semitism which changes his outlook. The Supreme Court does everything it can to have narrow rulings despite clear constitutional issues with some executive orders. If it makes it there, I see them supporting deportation.
