I'm not familiar with the process due in this type of action, but poking around online it seems like a lawful arrest can be made based on an administrative immigration warrant or on suspicion of a removable offense. That would be followed by delivery of the Notice to Appear "without unnecessary delay" (which one commenter I saw says is within 72 hours) and an appearance before an immigration judge (within a couple of weeks to a month). It also appears that transporting people across the country to immigrant detention facilities (e.g., based on bed space or security levels) is fairly common. I find the political motivation, the meanness of the action, and the obvious intent to chill protected speech despicable. But it's not clear to me that it's flouting the law.
Maybe you're right -- IANAL as they say. But if the law allows for someone with a green card to be arrested, shipped out of state, imprisoned and kept from legal counsel on suspicion of being removable even though, in this case, no one is alleging the commission of a crime, then it is useful for all aliens to know that the amount of process they are due is not very much!
are they trying to eliminate protests!!!! Economic blackmail against universities! Does it just stop at anti-Semitism? what about racists? what about LGBTQ protesters> What about anti-govt protesters? Very slippery slope
If any entity deserves designation as a terrorist organization, it is the government of Israel, which has been engaging in indiscriminate mass murder for months (when it's not deliberately targeting journalists and health care workers). It is a national crisis that Congress is "Israel-occupied territory", and until that hold is broken, America will be in the throes of a deep sickness.
JdL: I'm pretty light on moderation here, and I have no problem with anti-Israel comments, including extreme ones. But the "Israel-occupied territory" line crosses the line, I think, into something worse than vitriol. Please refrain from that kind of language if you want to be able to keep commenting. Stick to calling Israel murderous rather than suggesting that they have somehow nefariously taken control of the American government.

Agreed.
No what-aboutism? I'm having trouble getting my eyes to focus on an actual rational, reasonably-argued position - one sees so few of them.

Yes, exactly.
Finally a voice of reason that puts its finger on the nub of the issue (pardon the mixed metaphors)!
