Freedom of speech and assembly.

Visas and academic accreditation shouldn't be leverage against speech the government disagrees with, they should be granted and removed according to a predictable and unbiased process.

Really all government actions should follow a predictable and unbiased process, a.k.a "The Law".

What law do these deportations violate?

I don't see any way that can be a good faith question.

But in case it is, the bevy of judgments on this issue is recommended reading.

Just, throwing this out there, but it seems a distinct possibility that this Administration doesn't hold the same regard towards "Rule of Law" as did previous Administrations.

I'm not altogether certain I'd rely on "Rule of Law" to save anyone in the current environment.

Kristi Noem doesn't know what Habeas Corpus is; she defined it as "the constitutional right of the president to protect America from terrorists" or some such nonsense,so - ya think?

Kristi Noem knows exactly what Habeas Corpus is.

Possibly after she had it explained to her in front of the millions of viewers watching her demonstrate a frankly unbelievable lack of basic knowledge for someone in her position.

But then such things are expected with the current kakistocracy.

That's not just a possibility, that's cold hard fact that's been proven repeatedly in just the last few months.

To have international students be part of the university and contributing to its research?

Immigration policy being enforced is not an infringement of academic freedom.

When it's targeted solely at one institute for the purpose of hampering it's academic activities as retribution? You're being deliberately obtuse here.

Assembly and speech.

When are you alleging that the Trump administration infringed upon these freedoms?

I'm not sure if you're being serious.

You are aware that ICE has started arresting people whose only crime is political speech, right?

I am.

I’m aware that people are asserting that this has happened. I haven’t seen any evidence that it has; this is why I am asking for specific allegations.

Here's your evidence.

Could you tell me what was she was arrested for, if not speech?
