Columbia grad student Layla S., whom you may know from the highly informative Twitter account @itslaylas, joins Bad Faith to talk about the government kidnapping of her friend and Columbia graduate student Mahmoud Khalil, and ICE's deportation threats against two other pro-Palestine student protesters: Ranjani Srinivasan, who self-deported, and Leqaa Kordia, who was detained last week. Layla puts these events in the context of the broader crackdown on college protests under the Biden administration, which laid the foundation for the current abrogation of First Amendment rights for critics of Israel.
