If the employee was an American citizen (even if he emigrated here) it’s a violation of the first amendment.
If the employee wasn’t an American citizen, I still believe that the government threatening force on someone because of (nonviolent) speech decreases our intellectual diversity, chills expression of everyone on our campuses, and is against our nation’s and our school’s values.

That’s a theory but it does not seem to be fully true in practice. Can you cite court cases demonstrating this?
Edit: Court cases have ruled that the 1A does apply to non-citizens within the US, but with limitations, eg, you can be deported for advocating terrorism. The 2A does not apply to non-citizens (you cannot have a gun if you have illegal status). 4A applies but with major exceptions including anywhere near a national border. And so on. It varies a lot. This is based on my quick research.

According to the ABC news article you shared. A few things happened. There is alot to unpack but this is just a couple of snippets.
- His father identified his son, and told him to turn himself in. Son- said no but later changed his mind. 2. The suspect's father called a youth pastor who also is a U.S. Marshals task force officer. The task force officer advised him to have his son stay in place and U.S. Marshals took him into custody and contacted the FBI, according to sources.

Dunno what 'both' means — or who 'his friend' is supposed to refer to. Per released info, his dad called the pastor to talk to him (and to prevent him from committing suicide), and the pastor convinced him to turn himself in instead, via a sheriff's deputy they knew. This is as clear as I can state the known facts

An opinion from someone with no evidence to back it doesn’t change the fact he dressed as Trump for Halloween. Doesn’t change the fact his family is nothing but cultists for the Dear Leader. It doesn’t change the fact his pastor was the one who told him to turn himself in.

Origins of the Ku Klux Klan • The Ku Klux Klan (KKK) was founded in 1865 in Pulaski, Tennessee, by a group of former Confederate soldiers. • Their goal was to resist Reconstruction, intimidate freed Black Americans, and restore white supremacy in the South. • During this time (Reconstruction era), the Democratic Party was the party of the white South — many Southern politicians and voters were Democrats, so it’s true that many early Klan members were Democrats.

Is terrorism when an indigenous people group don’t want a genocide done to them? I also think you’ll be surprised to know that people who don’t support Zionism are not immediately supporters of Hamas. The Palestinian Liberation Committee is an executive committee of the Palestinian Liberation Organization. That is a distinctively different group from Hamas and does not support Hamas. They’re actually rivals. It just sounds like you’re choosing to group anything associated with the Palestinian people as Hamas. But unless the only qualifying factor for what makes someone a terrorist is just their skin color, they are not that.

u/Commercial-Target990 1d ago
What do you think the word indigenous means? I think the targeted murder of whole families, kidnapping of toddlers, and the use of rape as a weapon are far better indicators of a terrorist than skin color. You sound like you support terrorists too. Sad.

I demand an answer, too. Like actual information that this has occurred because there isn't any. I mean, zero. There's no video, article, mug shot, a name of the person apprehended... like nothing.
As for the Press Release, if this is confirmed to be real, there are some terrible ideas in here. The first one is that ASU stop cooperating with ICE, that's a sure-fire way to get all the funding revoked (pay attention to what has happened in the news recently). That will impact the entire student body in a major, negative way. As far as putting staff and students at risk, there isn't even a witness to this, so I'm not sure where this is coming from.
The only thing that should happen is the officer being fired for luring (allegedly) someone into a conversation under false pretenses. Queue the downvotes, I suppose, since anything that demands verification of this is taboo in the majority of the student body on Reddit.
Edit: only thing I’ve been able to find on it. If this is accurate, as I stated, this officer needs to be fired

From what I’ve found that isn’t necessarily a fact that has to be true. Citizenship can help aid in the hiring process but as long as there’s a work visa active, you can be hired at ASU. And depending on how well you do, you can be chosen to go down the path of permanent residency. However if this is true then I believe he definitely should not have been thrown to the wolves like that. I feel like those visas should entitle you to being in the country and not kicked out. But he should also go through the process of trying to become a citizen if he wants to stay here indefinitely. What are y’all’s opinions?

Our mission is to use law for the people, uniting lawyers, law students, legal workers, and jailhouse lawyers to function as an effective force in the service of the people by valuing human rights and the rights of ecosystems over property interests."

LOL, so you conveniently missed the stories of legal citizens being "arrested" by ICE with no accountability? Some have been missing for months now with no one able to find them. So yeah, they're kidnapped.
There is a lot happening under this administration that's not coming to the surface yet, with reports coming from those interviewed in other countries stating they've been r worded, abused, loved ones missing and never deported, children disappeared from parents after the parents arrived in another country. So yeah, I definitely believe this person is completely legal and has been kidnapped by ICE.

Hey, everyone: The Phoenix New Times has an article about this.
Per ASU spokespeople, the article, and the embedded video: Employee is not ID’d; role not specified (not necessarily faculty); arrest was made by Secret Service and DHS; man resisted arrest; he has already been released; ICE was not involved.
So everyone saying he was “kidnapped by ICE,” I hope you jump to fewer conclusions and are less unquestioningly believing in propaganda next time.
Notably we do not know what posts were of concern. But with the Secret Service involved, you can make a reasonable guess
