RefuseFascism.org, as part of March 27 protests around the U.S. will join other organizations in front of the federal district court in Newark, where the court will hear arguments on Mahmoud Khalil’s action against the Trump administration for violating his civil rights by detaining him in an ICE facility in Louisiana.
The arrest, jailing, and threatened deportation of the Columbia University graduate for lawful speech and lawful action in support of his beliefs, “must not stand” says RefuseFascism.org. “Khalil’s arrest is a turning point. It is a leap towards the consolidation of a different kind of country – a fascist America. When the rule of law becomes moot – when what is permissible to speak or do is at the say so of Trump and his minions – that must be the wake-up call for us act as one. When the business of the government is bulldozing the rule of law and cementing a fascist order, there must be no business as usual.”
Mahmoud Khalil Must Be FREED NOW continues, “Mahmoud Khalil stood up for the Palestinian people who are suffering one of the most devastating bombardments and deliberate starvations in recent history. The ability to continue not only that just struggle, but all the struggles of people here and around the world against this fascist Trump regime’s many crimes, requires a broad unity that recognizes that we have differences in cause and solution to many things, but that in the name of humanity we cannot, we must not, accept a fascist America.”
The court will hold a hearing in the case on Friday March 28, when more protests for Khalil’s release are set.
IN THE NAME OF HUMANITY WE REFUSE TO ACCEPT A FASCIST AMERICA
THE TRUMP REGIME MUST GO!”
