The idea is that he's able to have his permission to be here rescinded by the SoS for having a negative impact on US foreign relations. If the court accepts that reasoning, he can be deported.

Right but it’s the reason for revocation of status that’s being scrutinized.

He will be released and the government will be criticized.

Yeah, that does not sound like a precedent I want to set.

I appreciate your comments, but I think this is the crux of the matter. The government was ordered to produce all evidence it had to support deportation. They elected to submit only a statement from Rubio that his deportation was necessary to support foreign policy objectives.

I think the government wants to establish the precedent that deportation---even of green card holders---doesn't need any evidence other than an assertion by the Secretary of State.

That's a valid argument IF that is all they have.

I'll wait until the Justice Dept plays their hand of WHY

I suspect its way more than just saying stupid stuff about Israel


Well the immigration judge has asked for something, anything from the Government and they can't cough it up. Nothing. Not a twatter post, facebook, text message, interview, video clip or sound bite. Nothing, nada, zip.

He is not a US citizen. He is here as a guest and can be asked to leave at anytime.

I don’t know that is how we actually want things to be.

He shouldn't have fricked around. Now he's finding out.

He gave the "proof" that the statute requires.
I do not mean this disrespectfully, but if people do not like this then their problem lies with Congress, because the language of the statute is pretty clear.

Have you followed the case? The Government hasn't produced any evidence (weak or strong) that he's fricked around though. Unless criticizing Israel is fricking around. I guess it is.

What do you not understand about "discretionary"?

I'm not saying it's right or wrong. I'm just observing that, for this round, in this climate, I would be shocked if a DOJ employee risked her job by ruling against the Administration.

I get what you're saying now. Thanks. You're right.

FWIW, you weren't close to being disrespectful. Much appreciated.

Holding a student visa is subject to cancellation which then makes it illegally being here.


He's not here on a student visa. He's a legal permanent resident (green card).

I predict that he will be deported, as he should be under our laws and at the explicit direction of the Sec of State as described in the statute.

You're getting sore man. This is nothing to get sore about. The guy has a legal right to sit in front of an immigration judge, and once a determination is made, the appeal process kicks in. There's nothing cut and dry about any of this.

No one's dying on a hill man. It's only a news story. Some agree, some don’t. That's all.

Some of you are way too comfortable with the SOS potentially being able to just revoke legal residency status on the basis of political speech alone.
